Adam Pick I am smiling from ear-to-ear seeing this wonderful picture. In fact, a few joyful tears might even be swellling up on my eyelids. You two - Else and Phyllis - just made my day, my week, my month, my year and my decade.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sharing this inspirational picture with our patient community. As they say, "A picture is worth 1,000 words." In your case, this picture is worth 1 million words.

I am so happy that Dr. Gillinov and the Cleveland Clinic team was able to repair your mitral valves.

Thanks for sharing your friendship, your recovery and your hiking experience with our community.

Keep on tickin!
