"You'll be surprised to know how far you can go from the point where you thought it was the end." Submitted by Eman

I pulled this quote off of a cheesy romantic website called lovingyou.com My friend rick used to grab quotes off of here all the time, but unfortunately, he didn't use them for the greater good.... ahhh rick, such a ho... (it's ok, i can call him that, he won't mind!!)

Anyway, the point behind this quote, for me anyway, is that so many of us think "this is it, it's over, i can't do anything more." lucy clearing her throat "ahem, excuse me, been there, done that..." I think that most of us have realized that we can do more. That when we think it's over is typically when we discover how strong we are and how much resolve we have.

I have sat here over the past 10 months and watched a man evolve. He has become stronger, calmer, more secure, definitely more confident and happier. He may not always agree with the happier comment, but i have seen it, his kids have seen it, his family sees it, and i am sure that if you asked the people that he works with 40 hours a week, they have seen it as well.

I have seen myself grow during this time as well, i have seen that even when i thought i couldn't take anymore, i could, and i could do it better than before...

Basically, what i'm trying to say is hang in there, it's almost over... you have done an incredible job and it shows...
