Thoughts

Its really amazing the thoughts that cross my mind from time to time being tbi !Its me thinking of all the people I knew before and after my coma!I have the greatest respect for those that have stayed by my side through my progression and Ive lost respect for those that said they would and don't !I can like or dislike someone without having respect for them!For all that have stuck by me I say thank-you,for those that haven't ,YOUR loss!
