chris-

you are in my thoughts and prayers every day. and i send you daily doses of strength and persistance, although you are the last person to need any of that since you possess more than any of us could imagine. i know you will use it to face these upcoming trials. you are truly amazing and inspiring, and we all know that your perseverence will carry you through this.

there is no doubt in my mind that you will triumph, and that soon you will ride again.

please allow us all to help in any way you and your families need, and to give back to you all that you have given to us in your friendship, smiles, and laughter.
