Zengalib - about that driver's license, maybe it's only in TN where I am, but after 60, when I renewed my driver's license, they didn't put my picture on there. I guess they just don't put pics on drivers licenses after you reach an age where it becomes obvious you are over 21! My son's scars are barely visible, but when I see them, I am only reminded of his courage and tremendous strength of character in fighting the hardest fight of his life and I am so glad he did!
Susan - Your sister's depression is certainly understandable, having gone through what she has and if it has resulted in losing the way she was used to seeing herself, it's a loss like any other and involves a certain "mourning period" or getting used to before acceptance can be realized. If it gets to be too difficult, or prolonged, maybe her doctor could suggest something that would help.
