Thank you so much for sharing your story. I know that this is the wrong thing to say and I don't know how to say it any other way, but I found it to be uplifting? I can't find the right word.....

It's a story of strength and tenacity and it gives me hope.

I wonder if, when you read it back to yourself, you see any patterns? It seems that winter is particularly tough for you and I know that Michigan winters can be long. (I am now in Texas, from New York, and it's made a huge difference for me)

Anyway, thank you for sharing. And I hope I'm coming across the way I intend...
