what makes me special hmmm well i suppose surviving with my mental state intact after all the various tragedies in my life might make me special..losing three babies, watching my mom deteriorate into mental illness, losing my dad when he was too young, at least he was young to me, and then helplessly watching my mother starve to death , without being able to do a thing to intervene.. all that and not going completely bonkers is what i suppose makes me a bit special.. although other people have suffered far worse than i have, and came out strong..
and probably the most important, being a loyal and caring friend, and realizing when i have done something wrong and try to amend that.. also facing my worst fear, which was major surgery, a year ago this very day, and surviving.
