I wanted you to know what a positive influence you had on a complete stranger. Something in my life was almost impossible for me to accept and I came across something you posted and it completely changed how I chose to view it. I will forever be grateful to you.......
No one ever knows how someone can be touched by a complete stranger's words. You made an impact on my life, that I cannot thank you enough. Your words touched me that day and I often refer to what you said as I kept it and read it often. In many ways, I think God meant me to read what you posted as the timing was perfect...
Here is what you wrote and it is just indicative of all the good you have done over the years... I hope someone else can read this here today and be similarlly touched by your kindness....

To "LET GO" Means I don't demand my own way, but that I hold firm to my values and beliefs-- while allowing others the same privilege.
