Bro...this has to be one of the top ten posts of 2018! Your story is both all-encompassing and hugely encouraging, as a reminder to NEVER QUIT.
The pic of your parents and you on graduation day was super transferring...goosebumps! And, for all the great pics of your magnanimous journey deserves a tip! of gratitude for sharing.
May your healing, and your opportunities to learn your passion, continue in the days, years to come.
You are a strong man, and clearly an example of what we need in this journey called life to thrive in the things we love.
Best regards on the house goal.
Godspeed.
Peace.
Thank you so very much @spiritualmatters for the kind words. What really helps me is that I have a place where to share my stories.
