I was going through some old papers and letters today because I am about to move. I came across a mound of letters and cards that were sent to me while I was recovering in the hospital from my attempt. I learned two things from rereading them: One, so many people love me AND Two, I'm so glad I survived!

I ran across two letters from a friend of mine who succeeded in his attempt last May. Now I totally understand the pain that my friends and family felt almost three years ago!! I remember my state of mind during that dark time and I will do everything in my power not to go back!!
