It is often in the darkest
skies that we see the
brightest stars.

It has been said that sometimes the greatest hope in our lives is just a second chance to do what we should have done right in the first place.

They've always been behind me and the good work is bearing fruit. I hope this is a start to return to my true level,

I think most people who write want to write, so that's what they do, ... I hope that this is a book my friends and others will enjoy reading.

The pages continue to turn, and every day I'm a little older, hopefully a little wiser and a lot more grateful. Do I have regrets? I have a few - but not as many as you might think. If it hadn't been for the darkness, I never would have known the light. In life we all take different paths, some more difficult than others, but in the end, all that matters is whether or not they lead us home.

I hope I don't have to go through anything like this again. I hope no one has to go through anything like this again.
