Tuffgirl,
You sound so strong and determined. It takes courage to make a tough situation a positive experience. Your post made my eyes tear up a little I have to admit. I see in you the courage I am trying to channel in my own life and you are an inspiration.
Congrats on your baby becoming a graduate! Woohoo.
The pups are too cute.
Look forward to more words from you as you share your story of progression, not perfection!
