The Merits of the Case

I just want to take a moment to say thank you to all of you who are reading this. Your outpouring of love, friendship and support has been incredible and unlike anything I have experienced before. I am humbled by the depth of your care and concern and have no idea how to thank you for it. Please know, however, that your support has been the reason that I have been able to make it through these past couple of weeks with some semblance of strength and with the will to keep moving forward aggressively. It seems that in my darkest moments one of you calls or writes, and your words allow me to focus forward again rather than backward. I have heard from old friends and new from around the country and around the world, from classmates and family and internet friends and neighbors, and each contact renews my conviction that there is a lot of good in this world. I am blessed to have you all in my life, and I think about that every single day these days.
