Love, is a marathon. That's why you get so tired so fast of everyone. Slow down and face yourself. Cause when it's good, it's is a long, open road. You're exhausted, always comming down, trying to come up for air, trying to act like you just don't care. Love is a marathon...

Jesus, Lover of My Soul.

Amazing grace--how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found--was blind, but now I see...


With each sunrise and day break, I am finding my strength in God growing stronger and stronger. In these last couple of days, I have been yet again reminded of how precious life is--more importantly, how precious family is. As I sat there in Room 105, surrounded by my family, close and extended, I realized this is what life is. Life is these moments that we spend sharing our greatest happiness and our deepest fears with those we love. As I held my grandma's hand and listened to my family interact with one another--I realized that tragedies, although sad, bring us closer than we could imagine.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone--to thank all of my friends who have encouraged me with love and prayers. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for the flowers and cards I've found on my doorstep--your care has brought my family much comfort. Thank-you for the emails and the phone calls, all of it is so very appreciated, I feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. My grandma wanted me to make sure I thanked each of you from her for your prayers, they mean not only the world to us, but the world to her.

"He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'..."
2 Corinthians 12:9
