Great words Brian. I love reading far more then writing so I follow along on this board by reading and adding some of my thoughts as I step out of my shell. As our family comes out of this experience for the second time I know that none of us will be unscathed. We have been working towards the kind of life you ascribe to above as we make our "Choices". God bless you and the work you have started and accomplished here with OCF.
