That was a beautiful post. When your last few posts said you were fine, happy, "walking on air'" but would not discuss it yet, I had the sense that you had not just made a decision, but "had arrived somewhere," if that makes sense.
I am glad for you - overjoyed for you and remain in awe of your faith, strength, and resiliency.
And you always gave as good as you got. While everyone here contributes, helps, cares, you, my friend reminded me of - helped rekindle, actually - my Faith, pushed (or pulled) me when I needed it and coaxed me along on those days when I couldn't find the strength to put one foot in front of the other, whether actually/physically, mentally or emotionally.
I'm blessed to have shared your journey and look forward to continuing.
Love,
Gardener
