Thanks, Amy. I really do appreciate your support. And I want other people who may be in a similar situation, or were in one growing up, that they’re not alone and they can make it through.

That innocent imagination of a boy running wildly thinking he can catch the magical biplane. The age you describe which is full of glimmer and magic. I remember thinking: there's a Tooth Fairy, an Easter Bunny, Guardian Angel and Santa Claus. Ond by one they get picked off.
