Its funny how I see pieces of me in every person on the show. But for some reason you (Jill) stuck out as being the most inspirational! Like you, I know there is more to me than I give myself credit for, and to see your journey lets me realize that dispite my own problems (which I created (I learned that I do this to myself, from watching the show)). I'm starting to realize that I actually have the power to find my own bright future. Strangely an opportunity for a job has come my way, and like Lisa I'm reluctant to grab it, but seeing you re-take charge of your future has inspired me to take this job and run with it. I also now realize that I need to do the work, to get the return. I hope one day, someone will tell me that they're awe'd by my presence..... So I need to get to work in order to earn that Respect ~ Like You Have ~ Congradulations, your future brings me Hope - Thank You,

Brian.

P.S. I'll say prayers for your surgery! Good Luck!
