Wow! Just like the Bible says:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

If you aren't the poster child for continued faith amidst all the darkness that happened around you, I don't know who is!!! Yes your story does read like a movie. I am so very happy for you that you've got this healthier life to look forward to. None of us really knows how much time we have on this earth, so grab each day and take hold and live it for all its' worth. It's a great reminder to myself and all of us who boo hoo our way through our days periodically.

Now is what we have and now is the time to live and celebrate by giving to others, being who we were meant to be and always being thankful in the process.

Happy Birthday! You are an amazingly strong person!
