Thank you Martin, I so needed to read that this morning. It hit me hard, and
the tears are flowing. You are such an inspiration, and your message of HOPE is
getting through. I so hope and pray that you and Barb have a wonderful
vacation. You do deserve it. I will miss your posts terribly, but I am glad
that you get your vacation. God bless you, my friend.
