From: Kyle Chowchuvech
Hello everyone, Kyle again, wish I had been able to write sooner, but I have been busy trying to get out of Iraq for the past few weeks, so haven't had access to email, but the good news is, I'm finally home! I would like to thank everyone involved with the benefit concert and auction from the bottom of my heart, the turnout was awesome, it really blew me away! From Steve who organized the whole thing, to all the bands, DJ's, contributors to the auction, people who helped with other things, and all the people who came to the show, the support has been really overwhelming! I sure wish I had been able to see it, sounded like a lot of fun, as well as for a good cause. Truly, the support we have gotten from Kim's friends from all walks of life, as well as family, has been astounding, and has helped immensely, Kim has more people caring for him and wishing him well than I can imagine, it is truly wonderful. Besides more 'recent' friends from Philly, my Dad has gotten calls and help from old friends in Thailand that he hasn't seen for 30 years or more! Kim, Bryn, and I, as well as Kim's entire family really appreciate the support, generosity, and the caring that you all have shown, its really heartwarming. With your help, we can hopefully beat this thing, I know my Dad's outlook is hopeful (yet realistic) and we are all trying to keep a positive attitude. As my Dad has said, it is better to cherish what we have had, and continue to have, rather than lament what we may lose. As soon as I get out of the Army (a few more months) I plan to move to San Francisco to be with my Dad and help take care of him. Besides helping my brother Bryn, who has had a huge responsibility placed on him, I really want to spend some time with my Dad, come what may. Bryn has been doing an absolutely phenomenal job out there, coordinating Kim's care, doctors visits, etc., as well as balancing school and the rest of his life. Once again, I send my deepest appreciation for all the support, monetary, spiritual, and effort wise, that everyone has put in trying to help my Dad, very best wishes to everyone, Kyle
