Paul and I met Lance at Hyde Park Bar & Grill recently to present him with a copy of "Walking Between The Raindrops." This is the same place we used to meet to help each other get through the awful first weeks. This time, however, it was a celebration of a great friendship, a friendship that helped to save Paul's life and bring justice to Lance's life.
The attack on Lance and the abduction of Paul touched many lives. Our lives were changed forever. Some lives merely changed course. It destroyed some lives while making other's stronger. A famous line says, "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I don't believe that is necessarily true. I believe that what we do with what 'doesn't kill us' comes down to choices.
Paul and Lance could have chosen to stay victims and hide after the crimes were committed against them. They didn't choose that path. They chose to be survivors and became stronger. I choose to celebrate them!
