My friend you decide when to give up.

Not the action or inaction of another.

YOU.

What do you want?

Decide and and live your life that way.

She may see who you now have become because of this tragedy or

not.

If you give up. Does it feel like failure?

Your success depends on you and your choices.

And how they align with who you are

and what you believe.

Look there is an opportunity here.

For you to understand what this life means for you.

Don't put that in the hands of another person.

Don't let someone else defeat you.

You may leave but leave on your terms.

Not with shame, anger, defeat, or because your cowboys are bruised.

What do you have left?

What do you want?

Do you have questions that need answers?

Only you can find them and you won't unless you stand up for what you believe.

Only in the face of adversity will you find your answers.

Then you will walk forward in this life with your W or with someone else.

But you will walk without doubt or fear.

My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
