Lis,

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks from the lives you have touched through this website, to include my own.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only with peace and the love that we share with each other through this website, and the solemn pride that must be yours to know that YOU have made it this far.

You are always there to offer comfort and encouragement and yet you grieve so profoundly on your own. I do not know you, but although we have never seen each other or shared a cup of coffee together I hope you know that you are in my thoughts and in my heart.

Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to be, and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.

I will leave you with some words that encourage me through some difficult days………..

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings as eagles; They shall run, and not be weary; and They shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

Your friend 2step!
