Very pleased to meet you, Henk. Wish the geographic distance were not so insurmountable...I expect I'd enjoy meeting you in 'real life' very much.
Here's how I read your 'chaotic' vent:
Take pleasure from the small things in life; enjoy the remissions, rather than dwell on the cycles, gain strength from the love of a supporter who tries hard to understand, accepts they can never know, and continues to support anyway; dismiss the ignorant, with kindness if possible, for those who cannot know oft suggest that which is not meaningful; never abandon hope, for without hope, we have nothing; most of all, know that you are irreplaceable...there has never been another 'you' in the history of existence, and there will never be another 'you' from now to the end of existence. Good, bad or a combination of both (as everyone I've ever met is), your mark on this world is yours and yours alone....leave us and who knows what we might miss?
Be well, my (hopefully) new friend. Our world needs more like you. :-)
KTSSU,
