She knows...Part 6

[Davide]

I've learned a lot about myself throughout this process. I've learned to deal with grief in a more constructive way by using it to push me to better myself. I've learned that sometimes things are beyond my control, and I've learned that there's always a point where, no matter the hell you've been through, you can learn to let it go and just walk away from it.

So now, I've found a new battleground to make my stand on...being the best dad I can possibly be. And so far, things are going far better than I had expected. I know there are going to be some really difficult times ahead, and I welcome them because they are another chance to go above and beyond for my S.

I may not have changed W's mind, but I have learned to accept what I can, stand up for myself and my S when I can't accept things, and fight hard to make sure that his life is the best life I can make it be.

At first, I was empty, crushed, hopeless. Now I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I know that despite the hell, I'm stronger than I was before.

This is great stuff blakmac! I hope that all the newcomers read this and realize the power they have to control their own destinies. Congrats on making it this far!
