 I feel like I've faced total loss three times in my life. You could call it, like, death, each time I thought it was over. And if you persevere, and wait about a year, no matter what you're facing, it almost always, not always, but almost always, seems like you make it through. Do not give up. This is the one golden rule of this world. Never give up. It does not matter if the odds are insurmountable. While there is life, there is hope.
