[@robert.m4676]

SUGAR XYLER ! Well that’s the spirit! I had a brain aneurysm and I felt like giving up! But I haven’t and it’s been almost 3 years. I get headaches but I have found ways to still make a life! Maybe you haven’t faced any life challenging events yet! I also lost both parents and life goes into on. Sometimes you just gotta take what life throws at you!
