@artaddict - I can begin to understand why you seem to embrace the time and interactions you have with people on steemit with so much energy and enthusiasm. I have often wondered how we can learn to appreciate life and be true to ourselves without having to go through these life changing events, but I guess sometimes that is part of the journey that is involved for us to grow. And now you are going to have so much more time to focus on the right things in life so we are all happy for you and hope that in sharing your story others won't have to go through such painful experiences :)
