Danda, you may not have had time to watch the U.S Open but you may have heard that 17-yr-old Melanie Oudin has fired up the imagination of onlookers with her success story on the court. On her sneakers is the word BELIEVE. When I first saw her and them and the way she says "Come ON!" when she wins a point, I thought of you. I tried to find a good photo of the shoes but in lieu of that, here she is, as determined as you are, fighting for every victory, her face so beguiling, her smile so winning. Love the spirit the two of you show. If she wins her match tonight, it may be miraculous; if she doesn't, she has made her mark and she'll be back. A momentary loss is not going to stop her, anymore than a bad day is going to stop you. BELIEVE. I hate the fact that your feet are burning and cracking. DAMN. No fair, no fair. But here's a final thought to spur you on: it's MY birthday too on the 23rd and 23 is my lucky number. With 3 of us celebrating that day, surely the stars are well aligned for favorable feedback for you. Love you. Yea for James, your little walker, too.
