Thanks for the earworm @simplysara - LOL
It's been a long-time anthem. It's funny - my son actually sent me a Skype message earlier asking what happened. Honestly, I had no idea he read my blog. So I gave him more of the details and it was kind of funny/interesting to see him rage on my behalf. 

I'm half wondering if I've been so beat down that I suffer a sort of life's battered wife syndrome or if I'm just that strong that the fates/God/karma/the universe, etc. keep testing my strength and resolve. The end game is being dead so I'm trying to fill this life with good things.  I just wish the path was easier sometimes!
