Good morning my DU family,

I've had the misfortune along with the rest of DU to have read about losing Texas Towelie, and the difficulties that so many others are experiencing right now.

I want to thank so many of you for both sharing the news that is so difficult to hear, and so many of you for sharing your healing thoughts and prayers to those who are suffering so much.

I'm so often inspired by the grace, love, and humility I get to witness here day in and day out, such compassion, empathy and understanding that seems like an endless supply, when I know personally how lacking these traits are elsewhere in life.

Thank you DU for offering and sharing these amazing qualities so freely and so often with dear friends and perfect strangers.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to carry the torch that so many have used to light our way, so that we may light theirs.

Have a beautiful day together DU.
Love, John
