I'm glad you have Laura there, and have you noticed that you are reaping what you sowed with that young lady?

I volunteer and that helps enormously. Maybe after you recover from your TBI, you might find something else that gives you joy. Meanwhile, you have Laura, and how lucky you both are to have each other.
