This is officially so amazing I don't even have words. What a heartbreaking, incredible, awe-inspiring story. I feel like I hide myself sometimes, that I edit myself, make sacrifices I don't want to make for my family. This makes me want to take steps to live more fully and do the things I want to do while still being true to my family.... how to make that happen, I don't yet know, but if she can do it, so can I! Wonderful post, my friend.
