Thanks for sharing your personal story. What an interesting life.

You've come a long way. Your formative years were challenging, yes, but look at you now. That's what matters. You've made remarkable progress.

And it can only get better for you. I am glad I stumbled upon your blog. It is a joy to read your comments. And I wish you the best that life has to offer.
