May I be the first to pounce on your new thread and say .... !
You are gifted with an incredible charismatic style of writing by the way!

....it's a fun 'read' !
Your story is not only touching, but inspiring as well! You are a wonderful family man who asks no more than to simply get your 'life' back.........and with your determination and wit, I have NO doubt you will !
Thank you, Mark, for jumping on board this wonderful ship

and sharing your adventure with us! This is the place we learn and grow from one another, we laugh, we cry, we vent, and we celebrate .......it takes true character to be able to reach out to one another, as we struggle with the unfortunate set of circumstances that brought us each here...
I personally consider it the most rewarding 'sacrifice' of all, just to have the pleasure of getting to know others like yourself......almost makes the pain worth suffering....
.......ok, good Lord this is getting 'sappy'

I better quit while I'm ahead!
We'll anxiously await your updates to your thread!
We're all in this together......
You and your precious family will be in my prayers every step of the way.......
