God bless ya' man. I'm sorry that you had to experience the heartache that you did. I do hope that you have happy and fulfilling life, with the knowledge that you are a good man.

"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
On the subject of your journey and the pain you endured to get to this point, I'll share something I told a close friend of mine very recently: It is not in times of pleasure or contentment that we truly grow in character or wisdom but in times of pain. Growth is painful.
Gardener, glad to see you moving on in life. All the best to you. And like CTH said don't be a stranger!

Life is a constant adventure. Sometimes we get stuck and turn our wheels. The lucky ones find away out or around the mess and continue on to new vistas. I wish you all the best and hope that you keep in touch.
hugs, kat

I had this thought of Gardener this weekend, and dropped in to find out how he was doing. How cool is it, that I read that post of his, and imagined him on his American 'walkabout' with just the biggest smile, and the Sun shining..
Wherever you are Gardener, you are in a lot of peoples thoughts, and have been a tremendous asset to some, including myself.
We may never meet in person, but I consider you a kindred spirit, and won't ever forget you.
Peace, and keep on dreaming big! IW...
