But I didn't know you well then and don't know you at all now but for FB and your blog. But I am glad to have reconnected with you these ways to know of your journey and to see a sliver of what you are made of. You are clearly loved by many whose lives you have touched and their words are a wonderful reflection of your impact. I will hold you and Andee in my hearts and thoughts.

It has been a privilege to spend time with you recently. JOY! RELIEF! There is so much of that in your posting. And now the future, whatever it is, with your supporters by your side loving you and praying for you, and for ANDEE too. Our language doesn't allow the plural of "your" to show. Andee has been with you every step - she journeys with you. I send you both love and prayers. Love the photo with the heart shaped glasses. So good for the sunny day you head towards.

Yet as you did not lose her in giving, so we do not lose her by her returning. Not as the world gives, do you give, O Lover of Souls! What you give, you do not take away. For what is yours is ours always, if we are yours. Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing but the limit of our sight."<br /><br />May God's peace carry you and Andee and all your loved ones through this most glorious part of your life. Thank you for all you have written and learned and passed on to us. You are powerful and strong and always, always will be for each of us.<br /><br />And we will continue the fight to find stronger meds that work on this insidious disease.<br /><br />Rest, friend I have yet to meet.
