This post is very hard for me to do. But I need to do it in order to get on with my life. I have thought, reflected and prayed much about whether or not to stay on LCSC. I very much admire and applaud those of you who have lost love ones and yet have chosen to stay and help others here. You are a blessing indeed.
But, for me, I need to move on to other endeavors in order to heal as much as I will heal. I want to thank all of you who loved, supported and cared for Lucie and myself these past four and a half years. You have made an arduous journey a lot easier in so many ways. I am forever grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I want to especially thank Katie and Rick, who are angels on earth, for providing this forum for all of us joined by LC. They will never know the full impact of their love on so many. You are special people, Mr and Mrs. Brown.
I have signed up for a program in my church called Stephen Ministry. It is a ministry of one-on-one lay ministers to people in crisis. The training starts in August, and I will follow in Lucie’s footsteps and continue that work for us.
I have promised Katie that I will keep in touch with her and let her know how I am doing. I will honor that. Thanks again, my dear friends, for being you. I will linger here for another week or so, and then I will be on my way. God bless you all. Don
