I can’t put into words how to even begin expressing my thanks to each and every one of you. It’s beyond my capacity to try. Just know this…we love you guys from the bottom of our hearts, and from your kind words we now know that possibly we were supposed to enter into your lives through this column.
I’m so grateful to Judi and Brian, and all the help and support they give, and also for Judi telling me, Dub, you should do this! For you guys to think enough of our musings to read them, is one thing and is heartwarming to Deb and I both.
But for you guys to come to know us for the last couple of months only, and show us this tremendous concern for what is going on in our lives right at this moment, is a testimony to your own character, and this statement is meant as the greatest compliment I’m capable of handing out!
We could never ask for, or expect any greater friends than what you have become to us. It wasn’t through lip service either. It was through the action of taking pen and paper in hand, stopping what you were doing, and penning to us your heartfelt sympathy for my wife’s well- being. I can never thank you enough!
You guys have shared with us your own heartbreak, past and present, and you are now in our prayers as well! We’ve learned in just the last couple of days that so many of you are experiencing much more difficult life decisions that are facing Deb and I. Please understand we hurt with you, but God is there for us!
Gerry and Eleanor, please know that you may feel free to contact us, day or night, and God loves you both. What a tremendous message you had for me, Gerry, and to do so facing what you two are facing is truly an act of such great kindness it still touches me to my core! We love you guys so much!
