To Paddym, the starter of this thread and all who contributed.......

I have cried tears of joy in response to this.......I am absolutely blown away. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journeys, despite all the hardship and sacrifice. You have all allowed me to play a part in that journey as you have in mine. Thank you for teaching me patience, resilience and humility. My favourite saying, and often sing it to myself when things are REALLY bad is from our Aussie rock icons, AC/DC..... "Its a long way to the top, if you want to rock an' roll". Best way of describing the process.......

I am honoured to face the frontlines with all of you, you soldiers of all that is good and pure.......

Take care of all of you and thank you so much again.......wow

In stillness and profound joy........
