I'm truly and genuinely inspired by your path and the life you have created for your beautiful children and I'm so [expletive] proud to call someone as beautiful inside as you my sister!!!! And not only are you a beautiful soul you're so DAMN STRONG ... I was extremely taken back and still am to this very day!!! ... PS I wish I was as strong as you and happy birthday."
