Your thoughtful and beautiful writings on your blog have been a tangible and powerful witness to the reality of unconditional love and to a wisdom born of suffering. Your transparency was a wonderful gift that you shared with everyone. You connected us with the deepest part of our common humanity- evoking such emotions and experiences as sadness/joy, fear/hope, control/surrender – demonstrating that they are mysteriously intertwined and not meant to be separated.
Your invitation to us to be aware of and to intentionally “reach out” to the suffering and lonely souls in our midst is both challenging and inspiring. Your understanding that love is meant to move outward, not to be stagnant or closed in on itself, is instructive to all of us.
You have opened our hearts and eyes to the core of the Christian message and I am so grateful to both of you for sharing Amber’s and your family’s journey.
May God Bless You all.
