Dear Tricia

This is the first post I make on all our sad news. I have not even had the will to cheer Kate on although of course I do.

I need to write to you and make sure you know I am thinking about you. What a difficult week for you. It's strange because it was a hard week for me - for those on the board and just general life (was hard for me this week). It is nature's will how things will go for each of us. Who knows why one does well and another does not do well. Don't dwell on this aspect of fate. Only God knows what our outcome is. We can just try to do what we think is right (with lifestyle changes and what not). Even that is not a guarantee to what we should do or not do.

The only right thing is to be there for each other, no matter what! One foot in front of the other every day and when you can't, we will do it for you.

No matter how bad my week was (work wise etc) it can never compare to losing 2 friends within days of each other. They are asking God to protect you and are watching over you now. Keep the faith Tricia. Hold onto it because it will serve you well your whole long life.
