Al,
I had heard about your troubles and knew they had taken a toll on your life. You aren't the first to go through those experiences, but that doesn't remove the suffering just because others have suffered too.
While I was in Oz hunting with Mick and Andy, I talked with Andy about you, and we both expressed how much we wanted good things to come to you. If things had worked out differently, I would have loved to have figured out a way to see you while I was there. It is with great joy that I read how you are back in a good place in your life. My plans may include a return to Oz next year if my schedule allows. I would love to get together then if it works for both of us.
Enjoy your new situation, and suck all the life you can out of every day. You deserve the best, buddy.
Cheers,
Allan
