Shades, I am sure you were a most wonderful woman pre MLC, but the additional grace that you have come into during this has added to you. I am not surprised that everyone is happy to have you on board. We are none of us living the life we expected to have, but you have handled everything that has been thrown at you so well that you will shine in whatever you undertake.
My vicar/pastor told me that I would look back at all of this later on and see it for a period of great spiritual and emotional growth, and I am coming to believe he is right, although I would never have signed up for it!
It is a privilege to have come to know you and so many others on these boards
