HAPPY First Birthday and Good morning my DU family, [View all]

Well well well, here we are.

One year ago today at this hour I was headed west to Barnes Jewish Hospital to have a quadruple bypass done.

What I remember the most about that morning, was the peace I felt knowing you were there with me and I was able to take the most wonderful advice I may have ever gotten. You told me to go in with a grateful heart and that I did.

( A funny side note about that morning, the pajama pants I wore that morning were way too big and fell down a couple of times from the parking garage to the surgery desk 😂

So many of you went with me that day, just like you've walked with me for this amazing year since.

It's only right that as I celebrate a year of life I had no right to expect, that I do so with gratitude.

Thank you all for honoring me with your grace, kindness, love, embrace, support and affirmation.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to reflect in gratitude, to experience the awe and power of community, and the uplifting power of love.

Have a Tony The Tiger day today. (It's gonna be GREAT!)

Thank you thank you thank you DU,
Love, John
