Gimster, I don't presume to know the pain you've been through or what you have lost, nor would I minimize it.

All I can say is -- we've all gone through whatever we've gone through ... and if we're here to tell the story, at least that means we survived.

No, we can't change the past or make up for wasted years. And I'll speak for myself here -- I "lost" my share of years too, and the best I can do is to make the most of NOW and not waste the future.

I don't know who said it but "Today is the first day of the rest of your life."

Please don't apologize for being down or being heard or being you. You deserve to be loved.
