Evening Dougie. I want you to know just how inspiring you are so I'm going to write something I wouldn't normally be telling here because this thread isn't about me, but it's relevant and I want you to know.
Today was a very gruelling day for me. My eldest son died suddenly last January and I've had a long hard legal battle for probate to settle his estate, without success. His mortgage company obviously wanted their money and repossession of his house was their only option. I could do nothing as I had no legal rights without probate. Their case was in court today and it was my last chance to get power of representation.
Having hit brick walls at every previous attempt, I was exhausted and I had given up. I was going to court today to give everything away.
Then you posted last night and I marvelled at how you always bounce back despite everything you're hit with and what an endless fight you've had. Your problems are so much greater than mine yet you've never given up. I thought about all the things I've said to you about staying strong and positive. So how could I give up?
I stood up in court today and fought for my son. The brick walls crumbled and everything was ruled in my favour. I won and I finally have closure on the most emotional and difficult episode of my life.
You inspired me Dougie and you're an inspiration to others. My intention for this thread was to help you and I'm sure it has. What I didn't expect was for you to have such an impact on my life. I know you've touched the hearts of others too with your honesty and warmth. You're special!
Thank you Dougie! X
