You sound very strong and confident. Good for you!
I hate the fact that we have to go through all of this stuff before we realize how strong we really are. Not so long ago, it felt like you were going to die. I remember that feeling well. Still have it from time to time, but, like you, I know I will be okay and will do everything in my power to protect my kids and help them through whatever may happen.
I am confident that one of the jobs will work out for you. If I can feel your confidence just reading your words, I'm sure the interviewer was even more impressed. Good luck!
