Linda, I cannot think of any words that contain the exact emotion I feel ~ I guess all I can say is that I truly empathize with you ~ in every capacity. When you write about your life, I can feel it as if it was mine. In some ways you life has paralleled with mine ~ in others not ~ regardless my heart literally goes out to you. I admire you. You are truly a hero for so many of us on this board ~ and in particular me. When I think of my early days on our board, I remember you first and foremost, because your story resonated so deeply within me.
Please know that I truly believe you will overcome all of this. Every single obstacle. You are amazing, and empowered, and solid. I am so sorry, with every ounce of my being, that you are going through this ~ but I believe you will become victorious, as will kt and wm, over it all.
Hugs and love
Steely
