Life Changing..please read

I know this is a different kind of post but I just wanted to say this and felt the need to share and maybe in can resonate to some of our fellow members and maybe hit close to home for some others,
this last year has been super rough for me and my family, as per probably with most but being more specific for myself we have came up against 2 suicides, a major surgery for myself, loss of wages because of it, cancer has struck a main family member 3 moths to live, along with another horrible disease in one of my children.. I have cried my damn brains out, screamed and beat the ground till my fists were bleeding ..out of all of this bullshit crap life has giving me it has made me stronger and look at life through different eyes, last week one of my best friends shot and killed himself. It changed me, it was the final straw before breaking the man I once was. I awoke sunday morning feeling different my senses more aware, and very static like and in a highly good mood, I almost feel what you might call enlightened maybe? I understood this is all pain and suffering and within this short amount of time you need to love and appreciate this little time we have here ,help those who need it and do not be selfish, and do what you can within reasonable limits. I am changed and I wanted to share what I believe is a important lesson / message to my fellow GLP'ers
