In this episode you will hear:
 
  • I’m really been surprised at how horrible some things have been along the way, yet I realize that I’m happy that I got to experience them and get them out of the way. Now I am who I am and I’ve learned a lot.
  • The joy with [Chris] and the way he was able to love is extraordinary to me still.
  • I don’t know of another man who loves the way [Chris] loved.
  • [Chris] was a game-changer, and he was the person I changed for.
  • There’s nobody else that is the right mix of things to make me see how it could be better.
  • It’s different when you really love somebody and you’re ready to have your soul forged.
  • [Chris] had an all-encompassing gentleness. It was like a spirit that wraps you up and says “you are cared for.”
  • Even after [Chris] died I could feel that he was still lifting me up.
  • Tragedy becomes part of your story.
  • We have the opportunity to turn losing friends into an appreciation of every minute we do have.
  • I feel good to have absorbed as much as I did, but when they go, it’s never enough.
  • Some people have a need to put their feelings into anger because when you’re angry you don’t have to feel hurt. It says more about them than you.
  • I’ll be a lifelong learner.
  • I’ve changed in that [Chris’s] death doesn’t define me or take me out of the game.
  • God will heal me in time.
