So terribly sorry for your loss, and grateful for Nat's legacy. I probably wouldn't be a journalist if not for him! Praying for you as you readjust to this new landscape.

You are amazing! My heart breaks for you in Nat’s homegoing, but rejoices in how he continues to use you in his kingdom! Isa 40:31

I have missed your wise voice in the past months, particularly regarding the Middle East. But each time I wished I could read your insight, I remembered the grief you’ve been wading though and prayed. God is with us indeed. Praying for you as you step into this new year and the next steps God has for you!

Thank you for taking the time you needed to get your moorings. And thank you for writing so candidly about the way you have experienced this particular grief. Your perspective encourages me. I look forward to notes from however you intend to reboot in 2024. -Susie

I will always cherish singing with Nat over the phone when we talked in early March '23. That is one of God's most precious gifts to me. Rick W.
