Woven into the fabic of my life has been literally hundreds (thousands?) of family, friends, aquaintances, and role models as well as countless others that I have never personally met but who have influenced my direction. Oh! They come and go much too quickly! Each one holds a special place in my heart. I have climbed mountains with them, taken amazing photographs with them, worked side-by-side with them. To the ones I have witnessed the evolutions and revolutions of the world with, survived great storms with, endured hardship with, laughed with, drank (way too much) with, I wish I could say thank you. I miss the presence of so many that have gone on, but then I remember there are new ones starting out that need me just as much. “Let us run with endurance the race set before us” (Hebrews 12:1) and let us live every day to the fullest. Let us climb higher, run further, swim deeper, sing louder, work smarter, and most of all love more dearer than ever.
