Although both succumbed to cancer at way to early an age they fought through with such bravery and dignity. They were the strongest people I've ever known.THE ALTERNATIVE WIFEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593507545118567343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347721676027602600.post-26977068807205392502011-05-14T13:25:49.090-07:002011-05-14T13:25:49.090-07:00Wow that's awesome!

Needless to say, plan A backfired/ended when my Ex became extremely controlling and abusive about a year after we got married. It took a long time, too long, to leave him, but I did - and plan B was to sustain myself and my own life and once I could do that, maybe find someone else to share my life with. Maybe. Thankfully plan B has worked out just fine so far ;)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239580042161761524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347721676027602600.post-11907413423211992572011-05-13T11:59:14.992-07:002011-05-13T11:59:14.992-07:00that's really touching. i think i can speak a...that's really touching. i think i can speak as someone who has faced somewhat seemingly insurmountable adversity. being told that i couldn't run again and that surgery would be impossible and then going through the depression of that, and then meeting a dr. who could do the surgery 2 years later...it's hard. i gave up for awhile and i'm suffering the consequences now. i always love a good, touching story about someone who overcame the seemingly impossible. i probably would have cried at this event. :)<br /><br />p.s. i can't believe you won $1500. that's freaking highway robbery right there! haha.Anna Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247767039575233772noreply@blogger.com
