Lord.....help me return the favor to these folks for all of their kind well-wishes and support they offer to me. You know how much pain they have and are enduring and working through....and they still find the energy to help me up as I stumble. Words in this post will not suffice....so I pray I recognize other opportunities as they arise. Amen.
Goosebumps.....that is what I have as I read even more posts to me.
My sadness has lifted....started with snuggles with my wife, then ya'lls support, then friends at work, then my favorite meal prepared for me by my wife, handmade gifts from my girls, then more posts here!
I want to hug all of you!
Such kindness.....such support. A real blessing.
Humbly yours,
Blakesteele

Happy Birthday To You!
Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.

Thanks Skan.
It is wonderful you and Mr Skan are volunteering at an upcoming Retrouvaille. Having real life folks, such as you guys, finding the courage and motivation to assist is a key component of this effective program.
I will say specific prayers as you take on this challenge.
Peace.
