Wow! Thank you all so so much. I am so humbled by all of your beautiful responses to this. I am sorry I haven't been able to respond to you sooner. I've been filling out necessary final paperwork for Grad division.
I am so thankful to all of you for your kindness and words of such inspiration and support! Love to all of you! Warmest, Dr. Rising Sun :)
P.S. I believe in "everyone" on this forum, that we all have the power in us to blast past the walls of the past and forge upward and onward despite people in our lives who have discounted us and situations we think have destroyed us. We all have the power to take the "dis" out of (dis) ABILITY and rise up to who we are meant to be!
If our suffering has allowed us to think on higher levels about life and gain such understanding (as everyone has truly demonstrated on this forum), then I believe we can all live on that higher level in our everyday lives with the support of each other. As survivors, we all have dreams to fulfill and a testimony to go along with it - as inspirations to the world. Never Give up! The sun always rises. :hug:
