It is a story of suffering and triumph over suffering. It is a story of perseverance, and it is as story of people who reached out to him with love and him responding. It takes courage to hope or to trust, and it takes tremendous character to persevere. When Martin stuck with his dream we all became a bit better for it. The journey is not over, but I believe he now knows something about himself and life that is worth knowing. It is not where you start but how you finish, and if you stick to your dream miracles do sometimes happen. I pray that Martin stays with his game plan and reaches out to others who need his help. It is a lot to carry but I think he can do it. I think that Martin’s example is worth its weight in gold. It is a story of suffering and triumph over suffering.
