What a session! It was not easy to read the communication with Pierre without tears in my eyes. But these were of course tears of joy. As others have said, I am very glad you are doing more than fine, Pierre, and I want to thank you for your continued support and love :)
As for the times ahead, I was reminded of a dream I had 10+ years ago that I don't remember if I shared with you guys. Because of the dream's ending, I have always been careful with putting too much trust in it(possible manipulation). I will summarize it here for those interested:
"I was driving in an old Mercedes Benz, a diesel with rear-wheel drive(not the best winter car) and it was snowing like crazy outside. I was driving on some smaller roads and "knew" I had to enter the freeway at some point but I was very reluctant. I was afraid that the car would just drive off the road. Then out of a sudden, an old classmate appeared in the passenger seat. In real life, he was by then a taxi driver so I thought it was good to have an "expert" by my side. He told me that the car would make it and that I just had to drive forward and out on the freeway. On the freeway, I saw 3 or 4 huge plow trucks that were blocking all the lanes and I was afraid to pass them. My old classmate just kept telling me that it will all be "fine" and that I had to pass the plow trucks. So I took a leap of faith in his words and just went for it. Passing the trucks on different sides at high speed. After I passed the last one, BOOM! The car stopped like it hit a brick wall and I remember flying out of the front window of the car even if I had my seat belt on. And here comes the kicker that makes me never forget this dream. When I finally lifted myself from the ground, there was no snow or no cold weather. It was a nice temperature and I was looking out at the beautiful scenery with the sunrise or sunset over the mountains in the background. The view was epic and I could not believe it."
If this dream is in any way relevant to the times ahead, I don't know, but I had the notion to share this now.
I will try to contribute more with donations as I know it is still very important to keep the lighthouse going.
Thank you to all the crew and other forum members for all you do.
Take good care :)
