After our son was diagnosed with leukemia, all I heard was, "I don't know how you are still going, I couldn't do it." But you know, the earth keeps spinning. It's not like you can just say, "No thank you, I don't want to deal with this today." I believe, and will continue to believe, that you can adapt to almost anything. Life is not a constant, it continually changes and throws "new" at you, whether good or bad. Refusing to accept that something bad is happening and moving through it is almost as silly as refusing to accept winning the lottery just becuase it's different. I admire your strength, and your willingness to admit that you did have bad moments, but I admire you more for living through it.
