“When life gives you lemons, then make lemonade.” Although this concept is true, trying to overcome pernicious obstacles can be tremendous. In the next paragraph, I will provide details of this moment and the alkylated steps it has taken me to see through the pernicious obstacle. The journey will begin momentarily…….

Perhaps If I remembered the “know-how”, the feeling of despair would not have been illuminating. Having your world changed unexpectedly and having to now be the sole provider of someone else without your support system was overwhelming.
