You’ll never know how you’ll react, until death stares you in the face. Will you have strength enough to fight, or dare allow its cold embrace? This year the doctors thought I’d die, ‘til I received a miracle and more than ever, now I know that life is truly beautiful. This year I watched as angels cried, when God said it was not my time, that I have paintings yet to paint and still have words to set to rhyme. My gift this Christmas is my life, a second chance to give God praise and know, because of Him, I live. So much more precious are my days. I will be here to raise my son, spend time with friends and family, give of myself to those that hurt. This year has grown a better me. Thank you, Lord  |

Each day is a gift from God and it is up to us as to how we use it. You, dear one, choose wisely! You spread your kindness and love to those around you and you glorify our Creator with your creative works! Your surviving against all odds, just goes to prove that not all sayings are valid, i.e. "Only the good die young!" ~ Take care of yourself because so many people care for you! ~ warm hugs and angel kisses EA |

Michael, Heart hugs to you. Your continual effort of giving back, no matter what, always warms my heart. You are special! So glad to hear the good news re: health. It does change one's perspective, when faced with what you described. (But, I've a feeling you were no less kind and thoughtful before this trial.) God Bless, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Very deeply moving, and wrapped in a Christmas bow. Forgive me, for I didn't know the extent of what you faced...but feel blessed as well... The world would be shorted one father, one friend, and one poet...And an unending flow of gentle wisdom and love of life. Priceless. Glad to have you here. TD |
