Hey BDM, how's it going?
You were actually one of the people I hoped would respond to this. You have probably gone through more than most of us here will ever have to deal with in our lives. But your online persona comes across as so positive and upbeat and that's one of the things that makes you so great!

You're right that these feelings can easily become a distant memory. I think a lot of people take advantage of the "passes" that they're given in life, including myself. For example one time I was in a really bad car accident and came out without a scratch but I never felt like this before. I just have to keep reminding myself how lucky I am to be alive and well! And I hope you are feeling well today! xo
