Mokey! You are inspiring me to keep going. I can't do a Fall return, so maybe Spring. (yes, they may fire me in the meantime, but I'm doing my therapies and my work in the meantime).
Yes, keep hope alive. Then we can keep on pushing ourselves, one step at a time. We may not return to who we once were, but who we will be, no one can say. That's the hope we have to fight for, one step at a time.
