Sorry to hear about Terry. Sounds like he's well on his way to recovery. Don't worry about the album delay. It will be well worth the wait. Hang in there Amy.

Love,

Hey Amy Lynn. Thanks for the update. Terry is also in my thoughts and prayers. The good thing is that he's young and the brain has an amazing capacity to rewire itself even after something as serious as a stroke. Make sure that Terry finds out from those Bruin docs why he had it in the first place, though, OK? He'll need to do things to prevent another one. And I'm with everyone else about the new album. I know our patience will be rewarded with some awesome music.

There's some other stuff I heard on WXEG earlier this week - twice - that I won't mention on this post. But I do want to send you my REAL Valentine now instead of waiting until February 14th because of what I heard. Last September at the Epilepsy Foundation leadership conference I talked to Tony Coelho for a while about his career and how he was able to get the opportunity to write the Americans with Disabilities Act. I talked to him about some of my ideas, and he encouraged me to get involved in politics. Last October, Amy, pretty much by accident (or maybe not) I met the regional director of SPAN-Ohio, the Single Payer Action Network of Ohio. I've gone to a couple of their meetings, and know that they're a bunch of bright people with their hearts in the right place. Once we have enough petition signatures, we are going to put a proposal on the state ballot to implement comprehensive health insurance for all Ohioans. The system we're proposing won't increase overall costs, and will be a win for individuals and businesses alike, though we know commercial health insurance companies won't be too happy about it. I'm hosting my first "party" for everyone in my neighborhood to discuss the details of the proposal at my house next Sunday, and the regional director has asked me to be a spokesperson for the organization. I plan to be very active in making sure that people have good health regardless of wealth. Once the voters have passed the proposal in Ohio, we can start working on bringing comprehensive health care coverage for all people in other states.

I hope you like your Valentine, Amy. And just like last year, I'm doing it because I would do anything for love. Well, almost.

Love, rich

It doesn't even matter when the album comes out. I will consider this time to be valuable if it only means that Terry makes a full or near full recovery. I know that I will be keeping him in my thoughts, and I bet everyone else here is doing the same thing.

I'm so glad that Terry is ok. I knew that someone in the band was ill, but I didn't know who and I was scared for all of you.

Good to know about the release date...no hurry, I just hope everything works out for the best.

Like DhammaSeeker said, "Don't be such a stranger!"

All your posts are more than welcome here, especially if they contain news about the new cd. I get all jumpy and excited whenever I hear any positive news about it and it's possible release date... just in time for my freshman year in college. I'll be sure to share the Ev love with my roomie

Best of wishes for Terry. It's sucks that something like that happened, but I'm sure he'll recover and everyone will gain something from the experience. You are all strong people, Terry especially. You guys rock <3

Can't wait for the album

Hmm... August... Well, kinda sucks for me, I'll be on an LDS mission by then. However, that'll be one of the first things on my list when I get back (in 2008!). Maybe I'll be able to get two new albums by then. *hint mode*

That's too bad about Terry, but if he can play guitar then he's doing fairly good for a stroke victim. My sincere regards; best wishes for all of you.

We love you evanescence.

omg yes take your time.

*sends Terry and the rest of the band her love*

I got teary when I read that. But I'm glad to hear that he's doing so much better now, and that he will continue to recover. Stubbornness can be good for the spirit.

And I don't mind waiting for the album. Surely I'm practically jumping up and down waiting for the release; but I know it will be worth the wait. Delayed gratification = even better.
