Private.

I believe really strongly that one's instincts or "gut" tends to pull you in the right direction.
And, I learned a long time ago, that in my case, I always need to listen to those instinctual promptings.

Lately, without any factual base, my gut is telling me this is what I need to do

My purpose, other than to document my little family's history, has always been to enlighten "the world" via Deak and his message of hope.  I believe I can still do that in other ways, most significantly through his Run for Hope (2012 date coming soon), and my relationship with the Chromosome 18 Registry and Research Society.

There may be a time when I stop being private.

But, for now, I need to be.
I'm happy to share my little life with any and all of you, if you are interested.  Leave an email in a comment, if you feel comfortable.  Otherwise email me at jehowe@gmail.com.

Until then...
