I did and do know you mean it in a gentler kinder sort of way. :o) (Your a wonderful sweetheart kind of guy!!)
You are tough, and you can beat this thing. Hang in there!
I know this is going to be hard to convey.. But everytime something happens to me, people who see me or are with me or hear of it tell me how tough I am. It NEVER discounts the pain I'm in or diminishes the hardship.. it just makes me feel good to hear that I am tough!! I am!!!!! Knowing that others see that in me, or encourage me to be tough and to fight really makes me feel good.
So THANKS!! :o)
