I felt tearful when reading your story... not because of sadness or pity, but out of deep, profound sense of honor of who you are and what you had been through.
(I wish I was able to say these things without sounding somewhat melodramatic...)
I was touched very deeply by your sharing and thank you so much for doing it...
I feel honored to be allowed to "be a witness" to parts of your life, even for a very brief moment...
