THIS is the stuff that life is made of.

Thank you for sharing.

A few relevant quotes in turn.

"Injustice in the end produces independence."
Voltaire

"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability."
Henry Ford

"Solitude is independence."
Hermann Hesse

"Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end."
Walt Disney

I not only care and support you through these troubled times my sister, but in fact...
I DARE YOU.
