Gima,
I just caught up. I'm sorry. Sorry that it happened the way it did and the place it did. I'm even sorry that you didn't get the satisfaction of serving her first.

I look forward to watching you handle this with the strength, honor, compassion and manliness that you have handled everything these many months and all the while posting and chiming and helping more people on this board than most of us put together.

I am honored to have come to know a man like you and I look forward to meeting you some day (something I am - and have been - determined to do. And will)

Sincerely,

Gardener

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
