On Easter Sunday I had my right leg amputated below the knee. I had contracted gangrene in my right foot. Six days later I had a second amputation above the knee as there was still an infection. I am now officially handicapped and will need help the rest of my life.

When I started my memoir about three years ago, my vision was a simple document that contained my beliefs with some anecdotes and a few pictures and have it maintained for future generations. However, thanks to an awesome team, we developed a web site that contains photos, documents, DVDs and audios. I decided to share with a broad group of friends and made bound copies and our team distributed the documents. Many replied. See a few of the responses below. I am a bit overwhelmed by the positive responses.
