My inspiration is not fannish but how could I not be inspired by her to do, and be, better.

I have an older cousin who has been through so much in her life (her father walked out on them when she was a child, two unsuccessful marriages, miscarried twins, suffered depression & was suicidal, moving to a city where she knew no one for a job and leaving her daughters to be raised by her sickly mother, being raped by a co-worker, having her older daughter turn her back on her) and she is still so strong.

We spent Saturday together (she left today for the other city but she's hoping to come home permanently after her court case against her employers & co-worker regarding the rape) and she has so many plans for her future.

I am so proud of her and so blessed to have her in my life ♥ that I struggle to put into words just how much she means to me.

That is a very moving story and I wish your cousin all the best and I'm glad she has you to root for her.

To go through all that and still be strong really is impressive. I can see why she's an inspiration to you.
