Thank you, one and all, for your expressions, concerns and offerings of support. While grief-stricken beyond explanation because our girl had to suffer so deeply while giving everything to be her best, Madelyn and I have been so very richly blessed by her life with us and the living example she provided by letting her light so shine.
Consequently, we have been secure and stable - and will be better day by day. Our very wise and loving family have been of immeasurable support and comfort, even as they feel their own grief because Andrea is not within our grasp. This is the way of life on earth - and all will be fine.
The decision to explain some of our daughter's story here was due to belief that most among us can find benefit through exposure to, and understanding of, special people around us. It seemed right to share that tribute among such fine people as those who have responded here.
M and I will be just fine, and we look forward with confidence to seeing our girl in the new and beautiful body she so badly needed. And, we have three other ladies who are every bit as special - more blessings to appreciate.
Again - thank you. Time for sleep.
