This is very inspiring. i have started on the same journey albeit recently after being through a very hard time and one phrase that has become a constant reminder is " Be who you needed when you were going through hard times"

What a beautiful sad story. I have experienced similar challenges, lost my awesome hubby and sister in the same year. I have experienced both kindness and tyranny from my friends and relatives. I have learned to live a life of gratitude as a way to cope with the pain but today you have taught me one lesson - To be the angel I seek. Thank you George for sharing
