Life I AM SOOOOO PROUD.

Frankie · 02:32 PM

Some of you may remember when I posted a "Prayer/Positive thoughts" thread a few years ago when my son was going through a horrifying struggle with a sudden and agressively deepening depression. The support and prayers that were given were deeply appreciated. Now let's fast forward to 2009:

1- In May of this year my son received his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Iowa.

2- Roughly around then he applied and was accepted as a member of MENSA (I posted a proud thread about this then).

3- A few weeks ago he recieved the news that he has passed his very first attempt at the Bar Exam (State of Georgia).

4- Today he is being sworn in as a Licensed Attorney.

Life still has many valleys for me to climb out of (notably my heart condition and a mess with the IRS stemming from an illegal firing in 2002 which I successfully fought for 3 years). But this evens things out and I'm not complaining.

And BTW, My son is a lifetime Chiefs fan.

Thanks for paying attention, and now I send you back to our regular programming already in progress.

That is great Frankie. Congrats to you and your son.

Depression is a terrible thing, my mother fights with it. Someone overcoming it is an inspiration.

Thanks dude. This means a lot from a former CP foe whom I now consider a CP friend.
