Tonight was an amazing night for the RMEC. We have 40+ members and family members come out on an 80 degree evening to run at 6:30 pm. More importantly we came out to support one of our teammates and one of our dear friends. Margaret asked that I share the following with the club.

The love that a person feels is immeasurable. This is because it comes from God Himself. If the value of a person's life is measured by those that love them I am one blessed woman.
There are no words to describe the overflowing joy you each bring to my life. From the amazing testimony in perseverance of Frank, the smile that seems to radiate from within Ralph, the graceful comforting stride of Liz, the always positive never give up Arthur, the depth behind those eyes that always seem to listen when you need them Ursula, to the simple undying faith of Michael, Steve, Kinnie, Jackson, Kevin.
Then there's the Erics. My Brandie and Alane. Jon and Amber. The Greyhounds that continue to amaze us all. The Pattys and Elizabeths that inspire us to be more than we ever thought possible. Those that we look forward to seeing each week to help us get through yet another. And Max. Always Max (and he has a pretty stellar fellow for an owner too). All of you. Every single one.
Is there a way that I can thank you all? I don't think so. There are no words, no actions, no intentions that could ever display the depth of my love and gratitude for each of you.
I have waited my whole life for you all. My soul is never lonely. We will have many years to watch each other grow I am sure of it.
"He gives the harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
From Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost.
My thoughts exactly.

Looking forward to many more group runs!
ReplyDeleteEvery one of us has a story that inspires others, and Margaret you are no exception! I know Margaret from way back and I can tell you that everything she does, she does with love. She is the best friend that you could ever have and we are lucky enough to call her friend.

I so hate I missed this run. Margaret means so much to RMEC. She is so selfless and giving. Truly one of a kind and we are all so lucky that she is a part of RMEC and our lives. Can't wait until she is back to 100% again!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written! The run on Tuesday was amazing. It just goes to show what a great thing we got going on with our family of runners.
ReplyDeleteI hate that I was not there. Sounds like a great time of fellowship with a run. Margaret is truly a great person, she is the nicest person I know. Look forward to seeing you on our runs for many more years to come.
