I don't know what to say...I think I'm more impressed by your forgiving Femi than I am even by your private struggle. I hope you have a long life. However long it may be, your ability to face this challenge and then to forgive your friend have given you strength to face whatever comes your way.
We will all be sick some day. That's part of life. It happened to you at an early age, and in a public way. I'm sorry, but the way you handled yourself will inspired others to have heart when they need it.
Thanks very much for sharing this.
