Shane,
Great words of true support. Thank you! You clearly have stared down the struggled face to face, eye to eye.
I'll take every ounce of inspiration that comes my way, so thank you again.
Your conviction made me think of the deservedly famous jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. At 19 he suffered a severe burn to his left hand and leg. Doctors suggested amputation. He escaped the hospital limbs intact and conviction well tempered, and became one of the most popular guitar players of his time, playing mostly with two fingers, his index and middle. Amazing. I learned this after my TBPI and was shocked, because I grew up listening to his music and could never imagine he suffered a handicap because it sounds like he's got 3 to 4 hands at times.
