To Those at the Edge of the Abyss, the Comforters and Comforted

I believe most people find themselves at the edge of the deep and dark abyss at some point(s) in their lives. There are times when it can be a great act of courage just to get out of bed, keep living, and do what needs to be done. May there always be someone who helps them into brighter times with love, compassion, and kindness. May I be counted among them.

With Love,

Russ

    Every day, Russ, I am wrapped in the arms of God’s tender, loving care … and thank God for putting those arms on the extension of Bob’s body! May your Beloved be those arms for you as you reach out to her and others. Your reach is extended in your writing. I feel it. Thank you!
