But Peter, I know that our God is faithful.. ! and i know he sees the future.. and i know .. he does not test us unless he knows what we can handle. Thru' you .. Peter .. I've seen courage beyond anyone or anything that i've known. Thru' you .. I find strength, inspiration.. and most of all...... the love of God. I can't see the future.. Peter.. but i know who holds our tomorrow. You are always on my mind. Dearest, dearest Peter,

After I came out of the pool I went to catch a bus and suddenly found myself on the ground beside the bus stop with blood coming from my nose. The doctor who looked at my X-ray thought I'd fractured my skull, then changed his mind and decided that the signs were just the skull sutures. I didn't have any more black-outs. You were unlucky, I was lucky. You've carried the burden I and my parents might have had to bear. I'm sure you more than made up to your parents for any disappointment they may have experienced.

You have also proven to yourself that you can achieve. Working in hospitals and having in contact with a lot of inconvenienced people, you sure are an inspiration for all. Keep it up and may success greets you in all your endeavour. Hi, I am sure your parents will be proud of you. You have also proven to yourself that you can achieve.

But in Man, God is Greatest. Because of Will. The Will to strive to Godliness. I remember the lines of a song called "Stay Gold"..."Life is but a twinkling of an eye..." The song reminded me that we will all fade away, eventually. We will all be aged and weak and gone. But all of us have a chance to make a mark and make a difference....To be "gold", and stay gold forever.. Here's the rest of the song: Stay gold (by Stevie Wonder) (Good if you know the tune as well...sorrylah I so sentimental...Peter, you started it!)... Seize upon that moment long ago One breath away and there you will be So young and carefree Again you will see That place in time...so gold Steal away into that way back when You thought that all would last forever But like the weather Nothing can ever...and be in time Stay gold But can it be When we can see So vividly A memory And yes you say So must the day Too, fade away And leave a ray of sun So gold Life is but a twinkling of an eye Yet filled with sorrow and compassion Though not imagined All things that happen Will age too old Though gold God is Great!

Seize upon that moment long ago
One breath away and there you will be
So young and carefree
Again you will see
That place in time…so gold

Steal away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather
Nothing can ever…and be in time
Stay gold

But can it be
When we can see
So vividly
A memory
And yes you say
So must the day
Too, fade away
And leave a ray of sun
So gold

Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
Though not imagined
All things that happen
Will age too old
Though gold
