However, I am basically disabled and would have needed assistance once I got up North, and I don't want to be a burden to anyone. I had to reach out to my nieces that I'm closest to, to let them know what my thoughts were. I find it very hard to let my "little secret" out.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
