Thank you for sharing your story - probably not an easy write. When you read, do you use talking books or are you still able to read and write if the print can be expanded sufficientIy? I admire your very positive attitude, although you obviously had to go through some very dark places to get there.

You are a gifted writer Sally and you have soared with your talented books and posts on Fanstory that have delighted your audiences. This is such a heartfelt story and I was touched, shocked and saddened by what has happened to you. Your husband has been a gem, loving and caring as he has stood by you throughout this ordeal. You have triumphed over adversity here and I admire your courage Sally. I wish I had a six left for you, but I just gave my last one away. Love Dolly x x x

This is a wonderful biography that can inspire anyone to try as hard as you have done. Fanstory is a good place to start as long as you are willing to listen to other writers who are trying to help you.

You're still the same beautiful woman I married, inside and out. None of that has changed. Don't forget who you are."

Now that is an awesome man! Give him a high five for me.

You are handling this with grace, my lady!

Sally,
What an amazing story of survival. I've never heard your story before, and I'm honored you've told it in this book. You are a brilliant writer, and I'm saying that from a consumer point of view. I have all your books, Audible and otherwise. They are perfect and they are uplifting. While going through so much with Wayne recently, I listened to one of your audio books as it took my mind off what was going on, and comforted me at the same time.

This story is as well written as everything you put out. Well developed, engaging, and perfect.

Much love across the bridge,
Rhonda

Well, Sally, you have definitely inspired me to keep going. Everytime I post, I am hit with the thoughts of doubt. Suppose no one likes it. Suppose I offend someone. It's maddening. All I can complain about is my work schedule. You have overcome a mighty big obstacle. But you focused on the good things in your life. That puts you at the advantage. This was inspiring. Gretchen

As a Christian I've learned that we all have a place in the kingdom, although I think my time on fanstory is coming to an end, my popularity has waned, and there are signs of cracks appearing. But my encouragement is this, already there are people in our congregation, wanting poetry lessons, and all iof a sudden, as a songwriter opportunities are appearing, God is so good to us Sally. Although fear of the future is natural when physical or other things happen, but faith is a simple childlike trust, nothing more, I know you'll be fine. Thanks for sharing, blessings Roy

It was so fascinating and heartbreaking to hear about what you have been through, Sally. I'm glad that you have found FanStory and you are right in what you say that every day is a gift and we should never take anything for granted. An excellent, well written piece.

I began to read your post, and then put it away for a short while. You see, I found it to be so encouraging and heartwarming that I needed not to be distracted. I often would do this when someone's writing is compelling and relatable. This is a very well written true life work that could only have been written by the experiences you went through. It is relatable to mine in some ways, but totally unique to the writer.
Keep writing my friend, the gift is quite undeniable.
RJ
