I have fallen in love with the wine in France and the jungles of Costa Rica. I have completed elementary school, high school and achieved an honours Bachelor degree and learned two new languages. I fell in love, and stayed in love for a very long time. My sisters went from my annoying roommates to my dearest friends. I wrote three blogs and kept them as petite memoirs of my life. I flipped my truck, and helped nurse my Dad back to health after getting a phone call informing me he was dying. I made two friends I will never forget and kept one that I will never leave. I snowboarded on my small town ski hill, then in the Swiss Alps then on the Rocky Mountains. I became a social worker and have made a difference in the lives of countless people. <br><br>For me, 11 years old was only 11 years ago and I think that affirms to me that a lot can happen in 11 years and I hope that in 11 years Jaycee will be able to say exactly what I did and more.

To think of all the things so many of us complain about and realize that's just a drop in the bucket in comparison to what this woman has gone through? It's heartbreaking and I feel almost embarrassed to be melancholy about anything in my life when, as you said, hers is practically just beginning.<br><br>Thank you for writing this.

I suppose we can hope she'll adjust well and see our world in a way that helps us understand it better.
