Thanks everyone. It was wonderful We got hit with a winter storm yesterday morning but still made it with time to spare. Lots of pics and hugs and a few tears of joy. I would have liked to hung around and gone out to eat but Marcia was pretty out of it from her meds so we just came home. Besides, it's a 4-5 hour drive and I wanted to do it during daylight hours and take my time.

As Server said... I hope others can be inspired to take the steps to treat their illness. You can overcome and learn to cope and by doing so you can realize your dreams and goals.

Hi fishmanpa -
I recognize you from AZ. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and inspiring story. Congratulations to your daughter for her strength and to you and your wife as parents. What touched me most about your story was the meaning of her first tattoo... and that you all are real about it. So many people brush a mental illness or past suicidal attempt under the rug. Bravo for not only not doing that but for allowing and embracing her need to use that struggle as a power symbol to keep pushing forward. No shame. Wonderful.
