I know you have the spirit to fight this, the will to survive, and the heart to show everyone how it's done. You can't give up, I won't let you. Let's get healthy together. I love you more than you could ever know. The battle starts now. A quest for a new way of life, better than we ever imagined. Together, we will show the world our united strength.

me.
I am not an amazing person.
But I do believe one person is capable of amazing things.
I am not better than anyone.
But I do want to be better than I was yesterday.
I am not always nice, inspiring, or friendly.
But I do believe the more I try to be, the easier it gets.
I do not care more than others do.
But I do think accomplishing a little, sure beats wishing for a lot.
I refuse to concentrate on despair, how we ignore what we can't see.
But I know by standing up, my visibility will give a voice to those in the shadows.
I am not an army of millions with expensive gear and guns to fight.
But I am a soldier of service, with water...more powerful than weapons.
This battle is not over.
