Your story is breathtaking, PJ. I think that indomitable will to live is a very valuable thing...

I am always inspired by stories such as yours and those of the others here who have overcome so much and have such an incredible spirit.

Anything I have ever been through pales in comparison and makes me wonder why I am even here (as in SR). Thank you for sharing your story. May your recovery continue and shine.

Phoenix, my friend, I always knew you were strong but I had no idea just how strong. You are an inspiration. I will pray hard that your sons see the change in you and will come back to you. I have a feeling they will, you are a dad they can be proud of.

Thank you for sharing your incredible story.

I'm reading a book right now about extreme survival...that spark that some people have at their core to keep on keeping on no matter what the circumstances. In you, that spark is a blast furnace.

I suspect you're also one of those who isn't all that comfortable with praise, so I'll just leave it at "wow" and I'm so glad you've become one of us.
