ronel,

i for one am glad that you posted this "success story". and yes, i do think hope is important, but i think what gives each of us hope may differ from person to person. i don't think anyone should be afraid to post success stories but i also don't think anyone should be afraid to post their struggles either. i think the success stories will help some people and seeing the struggles of others will help other people. mostly i think its important that we can have an exchange of ideas and differing opinions in a respectful way. i'm sorry if i made you feel badly for posting this, that was never my intention; i just wanted to give my perspective.
