I thought of you yesterday Sam!! There is a young man in one of my college classes who was born with a birth defect and had to have both of his legs amputated above the knees shortly after he was born. He gave a presentation about it and showed off his prosthetics.

I was so impressed. I actually didn't notice the prosthetics (Even though they don't remotely look like legs) at all because he walks normally. He said that his parents were an enormous support to him growing up, and helped him find a way to do whatever he wanted to do, and now he plays basketball and baseball competitively and he'll be running a 100 meter dash in the paralympics!

You're a vey lucky girl to have such a wonderful family behind you, and I know you'll be able to do whatever you set your mind to as well! I'm so glad to hear that you're back to yourself, though I don't get it about the Chee-tos, ick!
