Hi Derrick, I did not know Dusty very well. I believe he posted here a couple of times and I responded to his post about God and such. I could tell he was a soul who was searching for answers. And so I think I invited him to talk about God here or by e-mail but he never returned. I've often wondered how he is doing and I even left a message in his guestbook at his website but never met up with him again. I DID take the time to look through his website and read all about him there. I felt a very deep compassion for him after reading about his life and now I feel your loss very deeply. I can see that you have many friends but I offer my friendship as well. I don't do IRC or anything but if your ever in the mood for some good ole fashioned e-mail, just drop me a line. I am praying for you, Derrick. I know things are really tough for you right now but believe me, in time, things will get better. Remember the beautiful person that Dusty was and how much you love him and remember that he would want you to go on in life and live it at it's fullest. For right now, take it just one day at a time. God will be there for you, also, when you need Him. Your's in Christ's Love, Chris |
