Thanks guys. I hope my story helps someone out there...and I plan to stick around here and try to help where I can.
Ellay: thanks for the wonderful complement. Being a great father and husband is the most important thing in the world to me and it really feels good to hear that.
To be honest, I am still in a bit of a state of shock with regards to how my sitch has progressed. It truly caught me completely by surprise...the last couple weeks have almost felt surreal. It is an amazing feeling to think about where I was 7-9 months ago and where I am today, and how much I have grown during that time.
