Linda and Layng Martine...inspiration

I just wanted to repeat a mention of Linda and Layng Martine.
Layng wrote one of the most poignant stories I've ever read....and by the way....it's also beautifully written.
I know I mentioned it awhile ago...but his words echo in my head and help me every day!
It was Published in the NY Times on Sunday March 6th, 2009.
Here is one of the most beautiful love stories of all time!!
Layng & Linda's story.
If you don't have time to read anything else on this blog today...please make sure that you take the time to read this!!

ps
Layng....your notes and support help me make it day to day....much love to you two!!

"We know that most people — strangers, anywhere — will knock themselves out to help us if we explain what we need. We know to say “Yes” to nearly everything because there is probably a way to do it. We know there is happiness available every day, most of it requiring more effort than money. And effort seems like a small price to pay for a day at the beach, a trip to New York or for dinner up eight steps to a friend’s home."

Beautiful. This will come, in time, for you both as well. They've had 15 years to adjust.

Kim...we're heading out all the time. I usually do a dry run...to see if the stairs are doable.
Yesterday we climbed the stairs outside...thought I'd have a heart attack. Too narrow and Paul got a little side-tracked.
I think I'll wait a few more weeks before trying them again.
