As for me, I've missed out on a lot. I've been with my girlfriend for four years now, her family has no idea about the situation I'm in. They actually invited me to go to Oregon with them for Christmas, and all i said was that I had plans. One time they invited me on a two week cruise PAID and I obviously couldn't go, my girlfriend understands why I can't go, and I'm alright with not going although it sucks. All I can do is thank God I'm alive and doing well.
Lets all just have hope that DA will pass soon.
