One more thing, Stephen....

Don't apologize that your problem is not as bad as someone else's. It's plenty bad, and we're sorry you have it. Use the knowledge of others less fortunate as a way of giving thanks for your good fortune.

I will make you a bet: Those who have so much more to deal with are likely to be the most compassionate ones to the rest of us, whether our problems are as great as theirs or not.

I sure am sorry that you have to go through this,but I can tell that you will do just fine.

Take care.
