Know that I'm honored you chose to share your story. I imagine it was difficult to write, and even more difficult to live, and it moved me. You are living, breathing, blogging proof that we are more than products of our environment... that we have significant control over our response to it, and how we exercise that control shapes who we are.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06162620206370481186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555929730378028813.post-30504980129299571192007-11-15T16:11:00.000-05:002007-11-15T16:11:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing so much about you and your chil...Thanks for sharing so much about you and your childhood, very inspiring.

Not offended at all, rather I would like to applaud you and how you've overcome not only circumstances, but the inevitable taste of residual bitterness such an upbringing leaves in your mouth. Brava, my friend, and a brave and honest story to add to our collection. Not to mention a delicious looking recipe.
