Although this Camino has been planned for well over a year, with the drastic changes in my life with the loss of Jean, it could never have been possible without the love and friendship of Dan Ferris.

There are few people in the world I think I could have trusted and counted on knowing I was going to break down from time to time along the trail, during mass, or after some random story. The depth and breadth of our friendship is such that I could feel comfortable enough to take on a physical challenge while dealing with an emotional crisis.

There is no way I could ever express my appreciation nor repay the debt.

We should all have such a blessed friendship.
