Epitaph


It's time I left this account. Despite my desperate pleading, it's apparent there's nothing I can do now to reconcile some of the damaged friendships. The wounds that pierced them when I left my comfort zone have run deep and bled out.

The truth is, I'm not ready yet to nurture our friendships again as we used to. There remains much personal growth to be done. God willing, you will live happy, peaceful lives, and in due time you will grow in wisdom and love. Here and now I entrust you to His care.

Be safe. All of you are in my prayers, in my heart, and have my love as your friend, even though it seems like I treat you as an enemy. Please remember, "Faithful are the wounds of a friend; deceitful are the kisses of an enemy."

Farewell,

~~Joel (Once "Philotheos", now permanently "Ichabod")
