To all my beloved friends and family,

Thank you so much for all the love you showed me yesterday. It may only be the internet, but I thank you all for making me feel remembered. All the gifts I received are special to me and I love them. And now, I offer you all the greatest gift that I can possibly give any of you.

I truly do love you all, and hope you all read these words.

I am here to tell you all that I pray for you all and keep you all in my heart and thoughts. I pray you all know the love of God and come to know Him intimately. That His love may fill the emptiness that we all feel. And we ALL do have that emptiness. We try to fill it with other things...and yet nothing fills it and satisfies us. I pray that you draw near to God, and know true love and life in its fullness.

I'm not TRYING to preach, but if you feel convicted or even curious, I'm glad. I thank you all, and love you and miss your smiling faces. I pray to see you all again soon, that we might share a beer and a laugh. BUT, I only have 9 Yuengling left (THANKS NEIL AND JENNIFER!!!), so we'll have to find another beer to share!

And my heart, thank you for all your love...I thank God for you every day. I pray that we only increase in faith, and love, and that our last days together be as filled with His love as our first days together my love. I love you and thank you for every bit of love that you gave me yesterday. What I gave you was a small gift of appreciation for being the greatest gift God has placed in my life. My friend, my lover, my companion, my beloved heart. I love you.
