So you shared your face with us, but what makes you YOU?

Dakski,

You are a true inspiration.

It seems like life has kept on testing you, time and time again, and each time you emerge better, and with flying colors.

Many falter under half the pressure and trials you've been through.

What a wonderful person you are. I believe in Karma, I believe that this is why you found your soulmate and she found you. Because frankly, you deserve it!


While I don't understand half the stuff about the cars, its clear they are badass and super cool. I can understand really being into them. I do love my truck, too

Zina10. Thank you for the kind words. I am not a quitter and my friends say when I set my mind to something, I get it done.

I think many people would have gotten through what I went through, on all levels. You don't know how strong you are until you have to be strong.

I had a friend in high school and college. He got testicular cancer at 19 and his kidneys failed because of the CT scan dye (a rare side effect that was missed because of the treatments he was going through). When he went through that, and then a transplant, I remember saying, "I could never do that."

I do think it matters how you approach it, how you get through, and how much you let bad experiences change you (in bad ways). I refuse to become bitter or angry about life. I do my best and try to keep a smile on my face. Not that I don't have my moments, believe me I do. However, in general, I try my best to stay positive and be there for others.

Yeah, I love driving! However, Katie is not impressed. She would take a nice big truck over a Porsche or a race car any day! I don't get that, but to each their own.

By the way, I am a total extrovert and Katie is also an introvert, like you. Took a little adjustment for me to realize when she just needs space and to be alone. I have much more appreciation for introverts now. Many people I surround myself with are also extroverts. They say opposites attract, right?
