I knew it was going to be a bit of a bumpy ride, but that my family would get through it. I went all out, tackled everything, and went balls to the wall. At the same time I had to go through life pretending nothing was wrong. We aren't through it yet, but we are exactly where I had hoped we would be about now.

You either handle things or get handled. It's that simple.
