Andy, I have read and read again these words many times today. I have soaked them in deeply and they have wrapped me in a warmth unlike any other I've felt. My story is not unlike many women's (or men's for that matter), that is up until the part where you entered my world and brought with you great light. I know that you have done much the same thing for so many others before me, and that you will continue to do so for many after me, and that makes me humbled and proud and so thankful to be among the people to whom God led you.
My mother said to me once not so long ago, "When Jenn calls you smile. When Thomas calls you smile very big. But I always know when it's Andy calling." Of course, I had to ask her how she knew, to which she replied... "because he lights up your face and your life." Light has been a theme in our friendship for a very long time now, and your light will continue to shine in my life forever, because you shared with me the fire of your soul to thaw the frozen places and light the torch for life in me again. I will never be the same, because of who you are to me. Nothing can change that or take it away and I gather that knowledge around me like a quilt.
Every day that I wake I thank God for you. Every night before I sleep I pray for God's blessings on you. And every day that I live, and likely beyond, you will be with me because you've been woven into the fiber of my soul. God knew so much better than we did what He was doing when He led you to extend a hand of friendship to me.
I'm so humbled by your words and I can't express on this page just how precious this will always be to me, or how precious YOU will always be to me. I have never been any closer to defining our connection than you have, but I have certainly come to respect and hold it in reverence because it is more than the sum of you and I... and you've said it so well here.
I love you, Andy. Thank you for telling my story, our story, in such a beautiful way. You bless me.
~Shalah

There she is!

Shalah, Shalah, Shalah!

Well, you let the cat out of the bag
so to speak, didn't you?

Now, others can get a sense of what
I was getting out when I was explaining
the essence of who you are. One only
need to read your words and they will
immediately sense what I did when we
began our journey.

I am hushed right now (believe it or not)
and feeling quite humbled by your response.
I'll call you at some point today just to
check in.

Thank you for your reply. Thank you for
all you've done to restore my faith in the
giving process. Thank you for all the little
things you do, the bear, the text messages,
the morning emails, the phone calls, the
replies to my muse, and most of all thanks
for grabbing the bull by the horns and
having the courage to have enough faith
in me to believe in the process of change.

I love you deeply and I am so very proud
of you that words cannot express it entirely.

You GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wink,
andy
