Hang in there - you are loved

Greg -

 

You and I nave only met briefly at a Joe and Mattie's wedding so suffice it to say, we don't know one another well.  However the friendship bonds that we share with the people we know in common are very strong.  I have witnessed the love and concern pouring out for you during this time and I know that it is energy well spent.  I want to lend my voice to this chorus of people wishing you health and recovery. 

 

I would tell you that I am not prone to much prayer and as such I typically feel like I am not being authentic when I try to pray for things that will directly benefit me or my immediate family.   But this week I have been asking the for your friends and family the to have the strength and serenity to carry on and keep hope alive. It feels good and positive and I will keep doing it.  From what Mattie has told me, you are the type that would wish the same and one day I may need those prayers to come from almost complete strangers. 

 

I imagine in the future I am visiting New York or one day you happen to be in Chicago and we meet once again.  We share a laugh or have a drink together.  I would very much like that.  The first few rounds are on me.
