In the trying days to come, let that be a comfort for you.  I have learned that in time we remember more of what we loved about people than their suffering and the misunderstandings that have occured from time to time.  I remember my father's sense of humor, his irony, and his love of life more than the bad times.Faith manages.  Regardless of your belief system, believing in something -- even if it is just the essential decency of humanity - can get  you through rough times.   Sometimes faith in a better tomorrow is what gets us through the hard times when reason tells us that it is foolish to hope.  Have faith in yourself that you can be strong for your mom and your family.  Have faith in your fiends.  Hang in there, Mark.</blockquote>
