Oh Ted,

What a horribly, hard, thing to do. I can shed tears for you, too. We all know this is not what you want to do. But it is something that you MUST do. God requires us to make some extremely hard/tough desicions. But make them, we must. Back during Jesus last prayer to His Father. He asked to have "this burden lifted from me". Well, it wasn't. Because we all know now, that is what His Father had planned for Him from the beginning. That He would die for all believers, and save them from their sins.

Ted, I praise God every night for this decision, His plan for all of us. I simply can't image a human being being so "gving" for such a sacrifice. It would not have mattered anyway. It had to be "THE PERFECT LAMB" that was sacrificied for our sins to make our salvation possible. PRAISES TO OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST!

Please remember that "failure, is not an option", is all relative. "You" have not failed! You still have your faith in Jesus Christ which is MOST important. Plus you are still fighting to live in this life, to bring more glory and honor to His name. You are not done yet. Yes, you are down and out. BUT YOU ARE NOT DONE WITH THE RACE. "Remember that!!!" All power is possible with the Lord. By the way, did I mention that he has moved mountains?? What's a little cancer to a mountain??

THIS / HIS WILL BE DONE.

FOR THINE IS THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Dear Ted, I know that this was one of the hardest things for you to do. My hope is that the Lord had his hand in this transaction. That with this burden of keeping the business going while fighting the cancer, now lifted from both you and Karol, you can focus your time and energy on each other and healing. You gave so much to the business, no vacations trips, that you forgot to take time for each other and enjoy just smelling the flowers in the sunshire each day. I remember your trip here to Virginia for the weekend you seemed so surprised with all you saw along the Blueridge Parkway. May the Lord give you joy and peace each day as you enjoy this forced retirement. Retirement is an option, I have never known you to fail at anything you put your mind too. The Lord has used you to do his work it's ok to take a rest now. Karol and you remain on my prayer list and many others all over the world. Stay strong! The human spirit is an amazing thing.

Ted,

Nora and I are very sorry about your situation; but completely understand and support your decision. Your business has been very important to you and your family. You have worked hard to see it grow. It is extremely difficult to let it go, but it is something you must do.

Right now your only concern is taking it easy, saving your strength, and making sure you, your family, and your customers are taken care of.

You are doing just that. You have done a very difficult, but a very smart thing in the process.

Ted and Karol,
On behalf of BDGS, we want to extend our deepest regrets that you will no longer be our tenant. Ours has been a long and positive relationship and you will be greatly missed here - even long after the space is filled.

On behalf of myself, it is difficult to express the saddness I feel when I think that all of you will be gone. You have been my daytime family for so long, the days will never seem the same. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers daily. Please know that you can call me at anytime. Concentrate your mind now on better health and making the most out of life. Working is over rated!

Thank you for your kind thoughts but its reaslly hard and I burst into tears at the thought of it.

Dear Ted

I am very sorry read that you had to give up your business. It had to be a very hard decision for you as I know how much it ment to you and Karol. It had to be done so you can concentrate on getting better and seek other treatments so you can get better. I started to tear up just reading your blog. I will deeply miss talking to you! Please take care and get well.

God bless
Doris

Ted and Karol - By reading today's responses, I can see you are both truly blessed to have people who care about you. These are the things that really matter. God Bless. Phyllis

Ted,
I am so sorry that you had to give up the business. All the input with any problems we had was great. Now just put all that input into your fight. I hope and pray for you every day.
