These boards never cease to surprise me. And I guess the compassion and warmth of people continues to amaze me.

Thank you Bworl. You are right about the choice and knowing it is the right one only makes it harder. Not easier.

There are people who think it is better to have never experienced something than to live without. I believe it may be easier to live that way, but a much darker life devoid of color.

It's funny, but one thing I thought I learned in the past year was patience. Apparently I still have a ways to go.

And fate still has it's own plan....
