Dear One, You are doing exactly what you should.  Your self-advocacy is stimulating.  I am excited for you and the new hope you have found.  I love that you got the tip for your new support group from here.  Such generous, emphatic people!  You say you have found people walking different paths like you on this journey we share.  Love is the most abundant natural resource.  I hope you know that we love you, my Comrad and hold you dearly.  

Destiny did not bring you to SVR for nothing.  You licked Hep C and you will lick this.  Thank you for being here.  You make a tremendous contribution.
