Dear Donald,

Today is the 7th anniversary of the death of my wife.  Thank you for keeping me informed about your recovery from surgery.  I think if you very often, and I wish you well. At age 92.33, I have no future, and therefore I can live only in the present. Each night when I fall asleep, I die, and every morning I wake to the miracle of a new day. If I described my experiences, I would be boasting about my survival or bemoaning my demise; and since I want to do neither, I will close with my best wishes to yourself and Jan.  Please continue to write to tell me how you are getting along. 
Jochen
