Thank You, dear friend.

I am still in a daze. I cannot believe it. Yet it is true. My heart hurts. I did not get to say goodbye. More than that, I did not get to say, Thank you. In just twelve short years of distance -- my friend is gone. I want to shout: I love you! Thank you for your love! I appreciate you walking with us when we were in the valley! Yea, you were one of the few who called. Thank you - thank you so much. I know you are with the Lord. No doubt about it. Yet, I wished I had known, so I could walk with you a little through that valley as you did with me. Thank you so much. Your selflessness, your deep love, has deeply inspired me. Thank you. I will see you on the other side -- This is all I can say. I may not be able to walk with you in your times of pain. But there are those whom you love that you left behind. Perhaps - for them, we can walk with them. May the Lord grant us the open doors to those hearts and lives. Take care, and have a blast in preparation for His kingdom. I will see you again!
