Hi Dyan and All,

Thanks for your words. Faith for me has never been an issue, I have always been strong in that. I see God in everything I do and trust he will show me the way I should follow from now on. I have a little wall plaque that shows a man sitting on a cliff near the ocean and it pretty much says everything I believe: Trust in God, Believe in Yourself and Dare to Dream.

There's a bridge across tomorrow and as each day comes forward I'll take another step to reach that place where I should be. In time I will learn what I need to know, be guided by those who will take me there and when I arrive I will be who I should be. Looking forward with bright eyes, wisdom of experience and know I will be where I belong and in the company of those who will guide me to the next port of call.

Life is an infinite journey, of places, people and events that shape us into what we are to be provided we follow the light on the journey. I know this light and in God's name, it is never dark, but full of wonder, love, caring and forgiveness.

Someone told me once I had been severely tested and I said, no, you're wrong. I have been taught to learn compassion for others, and a whole multitute of beautiful things one gets to know from living in adversity. It brings you strength, caring, love for everyone and its abundance knows no bounds.

My daughter no doubt will benefit from a proper roll model, but even in that I am not nearly perfect enough, but I'll work on it. For now, with loving arms, kind words and displays of open affection will keep her well.

God Bless All Of You....Pat
