My wonderful friends Mercedes and Thurbin Warrick did alot of listening to
some of my very early fears,tears and ramblings and were insightful enough
to write them down and do some research to hopefully help some people before
they get the shock of their life unexpectedly like I did.The days now seem a
bit brighter,the sun on my face a bit warmer and hugs and I love you flow

read on,
Love you all,
