A wise man once said to me, "you can only do what you can do when you can do it." You did what you could, when you could. And you will continue to, that's the legendary achiever you are. That is enough. Even the wind can chip away at a mountain, the sea at a cliff. You've done awesomely for the time and financial constraints you have. It's not your forever story.

yep... I will learn from this experience and look back on it - just another one of those Adulting things living with what you chose. I love your last sentence, it's not a forever story! I do need to remind myself of that from time to time. Thank you for the immensely kind words.
