  • When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown

Physical life may be defeated but life goes on; character survives, goodness lives and love is immortal. - Col Robert G. Ingersoll

    I'll be there supporting you with my thoughts, cheering you with all my strength, praying for you with all my heart.  
    For whatever you need, for as long as it takes - lean on my love.
