I’ve been saying, “I need to thank them. I need to, in the middle of the chaos and craziness, I need to let them know I am grateful for them and that they are oh-so appreciated.” I’ve got a handful of rough drafts sitting on my desktop which were an attempt to express my thankfulness. None of them have made the cut … Let’s see if this one actually makes it to the blog.
To My Friends:
To My Family:
To My Parents:
To My Boss:
I can’t explain the nervousness and anxiety I felt when I approached you asking for two & a half weeks off of work. I let myself believe there wouldn’t be a way, that understandably the answer would be no. That day in your office -- you made all of this possible. Your exact words, “Vic, I’m not going to stop you from doing something like this. We’ll make it work.” ‘That’s it?’ I thought to myself. No “Let me think about it and talk with some administrators.” Forty-eight hours later you informed me you had rearranged my schedule and had also found someone to cover my classes. You have put people in front of me who are willing to be flexible and take on extra responsibilities while I am away. Without complaint or questioning you were on my side finding a way for my dreams to come true. Wowza. In Uganda we would say ‘bonga Jesus.’ From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
To My Church:
To My Prayer Warriors:
Last, and certainly most important.
To My Jesus:
----------------------------------
I have nothing in my heart but gratitude. Words usually come pretty naturally to me when I sit down behind my computer and start typing, but not today and especially not lately. You all have literally left me speechless, in a good way.
Thank you.
