Dearest Colin.....You have taken a heart of stone and made it live. I can feel again, I can love, I can hurt. It's like the story of the secret garden. A sad thing happened there, and it was locked away forever. The key was thrown away. The gate became overgrown with ivy. The plants all died inside from not being cared for. And one day, you found the gate. You searched around for ages to find the key. Finally one day you came upon an old oak tree and looking up spied a box in the branches. You climbed up into the tree, risking a fall to get the box down. You opened the box, looked inside and found a beautiful key.You thought it might be the key to the garden, so you tried the key. The lock was so rusty and old, you had to struggle with it some. But when you opened it and looked inside, you didn't see a dead barren place. But a place where you could come into and start to work. It was hard work, and you know the work isn't even close to being done. But that one day when you opened the gate and looked inside and saw a flower blooming there, ohhh it gave you such hope.You knew with some more work and alot of time, that this garden would be beautiful again. You knew that everything you had risked to come here every day. And all the hard work was finally paying off. Giving you hope that someday, you will open the gate and look inside. And when you do, a glorious sight will await you. That hope is what keeps you strong in the days ahead until the garden finally grows again the way it should. Welcome to my secret garden Colin. I love you so much. Heather
