For Mandy

The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path. Jim Rohn

But you have to move forward, you must not stand still! Start walking, I will hold your hand. It was so lovely having you here this weekend, I wish you had come with me to see the sunrise and the mist in the valley.

I treasure your friendship, love your open heart, value your advice, and admire your courage. You have an inner strength that has enabled you to stand strong under immense emotional pressure. I wish with all my heart that you did not have to experience this, or that you could somehow avoid having to continue on this path.

The positive impact you have had on so many lives over the years is a beautiful testament to your amazing spirit. So many people, all over the world are now the better for having being helped up by your hand.

I count myself infinitely blessed to be your friend.
