    ***HAPPY NEW YEAR***
    Wishing you health, love, happiness and wealth


    Taxi I have to add this poem as I think it sums up how much of a help and inspiration your thread is to people who may be going through the same.


    The Bridge Builder

    An old man, going a lone highway,

    Came at the evening, cold and gray,
    To chasm, vast and deep and wide,
    Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
    The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
    The sullen stream had no fears for him;
    But he turned when safe on the other side
    And built a bridge to span the tide.

    "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near,

    "You are wasting strength with building here;
    Your journey will end with the ending day;
    You never again must pass this way;
    You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide --
    Why build you the bridge at the eventide?"

    The builder lifted his old gray head:

    "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
    "There followeth after me today
    A youth whose feet must pass this way.
    This chasm that has been naught to me
    To that fair-haired youth may a pit-fall be,
    He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
    Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."
