We attended grade school and high school together. Dated for almost three years and then we got married.

We're some of the only folks we know that both escaped the cult and prospered within our personal relationship with ourselves and each other.

Nonetheless... the pain of the loss of others is real.
It's sickening.

Nonetheless... we refuse to embrace their pain for it is not ours...
Instead... we embrace what we love, we seize our day each and every day so as to laissez les bon temps rouler!

This is the only life we get and we intend to enjoy it in spite of and because of!!!
