Thank you so much my dearest darkeyes! I count you and the others here among the most blessed of gifts that I've received over the year. There are times when I don't know what I would have done had it not been for all of you being there to listen to my incessant ramblings. When we attend attend services tonight, rest assured that I will light a candle for your Father, but also for you. Not many know the extent of the trails and tribulations that you've had to face over the last few years, but I do. Most people would have crumbled under the stess and strain, but you've stood strong and gone on far longer than I thought you possibly could. You are an inspiration to me.

So I'll light a candle, to your dad, and to the others here who have lost someone. But the other one will be just for you. That you continue to find the strength to carry on, and that someday soon you find a life that allows you to focus some time on you. There isn't a person any more deserving.

All my love,
