At one time, I was doing very well in my career. I had pride about my accomplishments. Others have recognized those accomplishments too. Then came disability. The first few years were rough. I then went on autopilot, getting by from day to day. This is when I was losing years in my life. However, as my daughter grew, I formed a very good relationship with her. Later her brothers did the same with me. Even my ex is relating to me very well. Even though these years are lost years with respect to a carreer, family became more important to me. That filled the void inside of me. So the years afterwards became meaningful to me. However, I do miss my career.
