T aking into consideration the outpouring of heartfelt replies to my call...I 

H ardly know words to express my sincere 

A ppreciation for all the tender and kind 

N otes of encouragement...many spoken in   

K indred-like tones...purposing to lighten the 

Y oke of separation and to inspire...thus, 

O n  any other  given day...one 'thank you' alone would suffice, but 

U nder this tent of gratitude...may I say...xie xie, tak, asante, merci, do jeh, domo arigato,  spasiba, terima, kasih, dankie, gracias, toda, tack, mahalo, kiitos, salamat, shukriya, shakran, grazie, shurnurahgahlem, efcharisto ...and most of all....LOVE! 

  Col. 3:14-15
