You have such a beautiful mind. I read this to Ken (my husband) and we both had tears at the end. I’ve heard some say that’s what true art is, changing even hard realities into a work of beauty… the piece of writing, the sculpture, etc. You give joy, in your gift of writing, to this old couple, thank you!
Quite an adventurous month Lyle. Wowzers. First of all, you live in a beautiful area. Second the Gold Coast is amazing, right? But most importantly, the resilience you built during that time is everlasting. Wake up...get punched. Get back in the ring...get punched again. You’re stronger man for having gone through all that with your loved ones 🙏
Thanks, Dee! I wish I could’ve seen more of the Gold Coast. We were in and out of there pretty quickly because our trip was cut short on the front end. You’re totally right about building up my resilience. I had no idea what I was in store for less than a year later. It’s been a whirlwind ever since.
Loved this one, Lyle. So nice to see a glimpse into who you were before this newsletter. What your brother does sounds fascinating. Would love to read some of those insane stories!
He has so many stories. He doesn’t work the same exact gig anymore, though. Now he’s the COO of a company that does that type of work, so he spends a lot of his time coordinating patient flights that go all over the world. It’s quite an intense job!

Wow, Karen. Thank you so much for the moving words about my writing. It’s comments like this that keep me going.

Has to be an interesting feeling to resurface old issues like this and see what's changed from then to today.
Yeah, it’s super interesting reliving it, in a way, by writing about it
