Thank you so much Ruth for the effort that you put in and week after week presenting such a beautiful and graceful display of devotion and care to assist others along the journey. I am so grateful that you invited me and that I’ve had this opportunity to have at least one person in my life in this very challenging time to continue reminding me about where my heart is and what is there for me if I choose to continue knocking on the door.
