I know I had a lot of misconceptions (and still do)

Hello @tking77798 :) It is so nice to see you here. You have no idea how much respect I have for people who admit their misconceptions. For me it shows humility and open-mind! Beautiful ... there is nothing in this world that someone with your kind of attitude can not achieve :)

Lovely words you brought here about your family & friends!

Thank you for this incredible comment.
