Hi Chris,
My prayers are with you. Please don't ever give up hope - ever. Even though this is my first post here....(I used to be a lurker all this while)....and I don't know you, and neither do you know me....
I felt moved when I read your story, and I just want to tell you that you mustn't under any circumstances, give up.
The number of replies you've got is an indication that you're not alone out there in your struggles....
There's more to this life than meets the eye....
So take heart, budd and don't give up!
