Anyway, I've never been in a car accident, or slashed my wrists, or been abused by my parents, and for that I consider myself luckier than many. It just makes me so happy to see people like you, Clarity and LS, and I pray that it gives hope to others. And Truthbearer, you're such a great guy... even when you're drunk :P I have a lot of respect for you here at DV and you make me smile. Life gets better. And who knows, the longer you wait, the more gratifying it may be in the end. :D
