  15. I'm not sure how I came across the documentary Children of the darkness. It made me realize how blessed I have been by receiving the medical treatments available nowadays. Every single person who's comments I read and saw on that documentary became Heroes to me in every sense of the word.

    I'm not sure if anybody will ever even read this content but it it's something I felt I should do.
    My respect and love goes out to every one of you. You're lives have made my life easier to handle. I love you guys...God bless.
