Skip, your story was beautiful and inspiring. I keep thinking about that saying that pops up on Facebook every few days... "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle" You never know what others are going through.
Being out here in our cozy DIS community is such a priceless gift. I am in awe of your tenacity and courage. Thank you for being brave and vulnerable and sharing on such a personal level. Blessings and pixie dust!
