Dear Hellion,

I am truly sorry that the trial has come to an end, but I am hopeful that you have other possibilities. May those possibilities become wonderful realities!

I admire your positive, fighting spirit. Your words that you use to describe your love of life and family are very touching and well-said. I consider myself to be very fortunate to be with a wonderful partner and family, as well.

I wish you some peace and emotional comfort as you face the coming times.

Keep on truckin'!

Love and hope in OCF,
Kerri
