Fantastic wishes, that look like quite the truck. It is a shame when such illnesses create these hurdle to get over, but as you said things happen for a reason whether good or bad.
I'm glad you are enjoying it here on Steemit, the communities it creates is wonderful!
@jamerussell used his 'Honourable Mention' prize from my #zencolouringcontest to give your post my 100% upvote and a resteem. He is the only one to ever donate his prize to someone else, it's a wonderful act of kindness and a great example of the awesome people you can meet on this platform!
Appreciate your kind words and reply my friend! Conversely; what a wonderful thing to have done @jamerussell ... that's paying it forward indeed! My other half loves to color pages; helps her to relax... I am going to have to check out your #zencolouringcontest
See? Everything for a reason!
