But I must say that your writing is great, and you have a natural flow and personal style that draws the reader in. Technical stuff aside, and more importantly here, I think, I am in awe of your bravery to talk about this on your blog. I hope it brings the relief you search for. I'll definitely stay tuned.<BR/>I know how much stronger you become after having walked through flames. The refining process hurts, but you are obviously a beautiful human being on the other side of it.
