Royce, some two-plus years after you wrote this piece, it found its way into my email box, courtesy of Medium. I had to wait until I could compose myself to write this note.

I can hardly even imagine the strength and generosity you and Keri possess. When my sons, now in their 30s, were young, I told them there were two fundamental sources of motivation: hope and fear. I can’t imagine two more hopeful people than you and Keri.

Your courage, your generosity, your hopefulness, Eva, Eva’s eyes, the Eva Protocol, this story, and so much more are your gifts to the world.

Thank you for all of them. And thank you for sharing them. My hat goes off and my heart goes out to you.
