Sweetie, thank you so much for your kind words. It has been a long, difficult road for me. I had a lot of issues to deal with. Being at the place I am at today has required a lot of work, a lot of introspection, a lot of prayer and hope. I have also had wonderful people on here help me along the way. I will never forget it.

One of the things that is important to learn, and you will, is that the only thing that should define us is ourselves. We are responsible for our own happiness and self worth.

Try, if you can, not to look at the past and feel like what you thought you had wasnt real. Thoughts like that get you stuck.

This wonderful, tough, crazy journey, if you really and truly take it, helps us to realize that we are in control of our lives. We get to decide who we want to be. And it is in finding ourselves, through change and growth, that we can truly be happy and fulfilled.

You have some tough stuff coming up. You are dealing with some really hard things.

But I promise you, if you walk this walk, you will come out the other side whole and stronger than you ever thought possible. I know you can't imagine that. But, I am here to tell you that we are all special people. Willing to fight and stand and look inside.

Hang in there. Keep walking. We will be here to help you along the way.
