    I don't know Ed....reading his story makes me sorry I don't. What an amazing accomplishment...and how generous to share that story with us.

    Congratulations Ed!

    Absolutely freaking amazing.

    I was telling a friend tonight (she has been upset over a lot of things the last few days, and has been doubting her own strength, which is phenomenal)...that true emotional strength isn't a gauge of how easily you can do something, but rather a gauge of the things you are capable of doing when you have to...or when the other options are simply no longer (or never were) acceptable to you.

    This story is a true reflection of that kind of strength.
