YAY! This is the post I needed to read, after seeing so much sadness on the threads....but I think your post comes at a wonderful time, because it is the turn from sadness that we need....toward hope.
I am so happy and excited for you. I know that the year to come will be fulfilling with many moments of sincere joy.
You have come to such an important time....the time that you cease to wait (even if you don't have the D), and start to live again. It happens in small and large ways. You no longer wonder "what is he doing now." You start developing your single identity, and become whole in that.
Life is amazing. So much awaits. You are amazing, full of potential.
