Congratulations on six months Flynby! That's great.
Thank you for updating the original post because I missed it the first time around but it has given me food for thought. I don't know why your mother posted those words to you but I can apply those to my son, who at nine really does March to the beat of his own drummer. If he is true and honest with himself he can do many things. Don't be influenced by the messages from others to go against what you know to be your best interests. Know that you are special, a good person and go from there.
Again,thanks. And good job on six months. It really is a remarkable journey, isn't it?
