The fear of the unknown is sometimes the hardest part. Sometimes decisions are tougher on others than the one that makes them.

You were here for a reason and that reason is different for every person that met you, interacted with you, or were blessed with speaking with you. The lord has a plan and when that final task you have been sent here to do is complete, he will be awaiting you with open arms.

I pray that until that time, you can live out your days free of pain. I will be thinking of you on my next fishing trip.

Thank you for all you have done in this lifetime. Your service to god, country, and community has not gone unnoticed.
