“That my journey has been difficult is somewhat of an understatement. But all of us have difficulties and challenges that we need to face, and sometimes on a weekly or daily basis. I do not consider myself unique. Suffering is universal, and ultimately affects everyone. I suppose I just got mine up front, and over the years it has taught me a great deal, both about myself and about others.  In spite of this, I am deeply grateful to be alive and expect to be here a while longer. I have always tried to keep the sun on my face, and the wind at my back.”
