Great post my friend, and I applaud you to the fullest.

To all others, thank you for the positive responses! It looks like this could be the start of a new dialogue that could help repair a few damaged lives out there.

Let us strive to see beyond gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, ethinic background and learn to see each person as a complete individual, different from all others, unique in their gifts and offering of something special to this group and the world at large

take care
