Dear List, I would like to thank Jay for coming forth from his clandestine operations. I want to expose him for what he is. And that is, patient, benevolent, altruistic, caregiver for Ivan Suzman. I have been fortunate to live only about 10 minutes from Ivan. My only regret is that I did not meet him sooner. MY relationship with Ivan is somewhat easier because of the empathy we can feel for each other. Such a common bond is not typical with Jay or Amie (I don't know her yer but she is Ivan's AM caregiver and at fist impression she seems selfess just like Jay). He works tirelessly like a brother would to make sure Ivan is taken care of. He is everthing a caregvier should be and more!
