I'm smiling looking at your handsome face, and crying reading about your journey and your beautiful, brave mother (angel) too. Your fighting spirit and much-needed honesty (about the greed in health care, etc.) resonates deeply with me. I'll put you in my prayers and send you the very best possible vibes and healing energy. You are inspiring more people than you know!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384397177183988247.post-89740925750560958602013-03-05T15:34:24.508-08:002013-03-05T15:34:24.508-08:00Ryan & Ryan

I am not on the Servite campus as often as I used to be, so I am a bit out of touch with much of the dynamics of the place, but the Leadership Dinner reminded me that the Servite family is a true community. To see the crowd at the Hilton, all celebrating the ideals and values of that community, was inspiring. I was so touched to see the members of the class of '03 remembering old times and embracing one another....what a handsome group of young men. <br /><br />Ryan Kalil's tribute to you and his gesture of support for the new Foundation is a testament to that Brotherhood we all like to profess is a Servite virtue.<br /><br />Perhaps you have heard of "The Heroe's Journey"...In short, we all, at some time, in someway, are called to leave the comfortable and mundane lives we settle into...often aimless and self-centered...and step forward, perhaps reluctantly, on a journey that tests our very being...that opens up vistas to new horizons. In traveling the path of that journey the pilgrim, or hero, finds himself changed forever through the rigors and the pains encountered. He, or she, grows in experience and wisdom.<br /><br />I think you are answering the call to take that journey. It is ineluctable and it is coming from within. You will continue to meet new supporters...people you never knew existed. <br /><br />SRHSHAMROCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817476861430652104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384397177183988247.post-45341316471635297082013-03-03T17:25:31.744-08:002013-03-03T17:25:31.744-08:00Hello Ryan - My name is Lani Hana and I am a frien...Hello Ryan - My name is Lani Hana and I am a friend of Dodie's. One of my friends is a Servite grad from 1983. His name is Peter Sterling and he was also on the football team. Peter was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma Multiforme in March 2012. He lives in Mesa, AZ. I have suggested your blog to him and I hope you two can connect. So impressed with all you are doing and your positive attitude. Keep up the good work!

I am more than willing to help out with whatever it takes to help get this foundation rolling. I may be going part time at my job soon and will have tons of time to help.
