Many people here have come to love and admire you. Your sense of humor, anger, strength and devotion to helping others has moved many to tears...some of joy and some of sadness.
As I read the above posts, I was overcome by a deep feeling of anger that you would now, after all that you have gone through, tell us that you are ready to give up. You came to us ready to die and look how far you have come.
The one word that I cannot picture on your tombstone is "QUITTER".
There is a great deal of love and great deal of advice in the above posts. Many of them you could of written yourself to help others.
Let's see the Petey that is going to fight the fight come back on this forum! Pity does not suit you.
