My Nonprofit Reviews

I've had Ptsd since 2009. It has been crippling. Almost a year ago to the day I was paired with Courage. He was provided to me at NO COST by GAMSD - he has been a God-send. Just yesterday my wife wanted to go shopping in a mall 22 miles from my house and I went. To most of you that doesn't seem like a big deal at all but for me it was impossible a short while ago. Any trips out of the house used to be there (Dr. Atty. etc.) and right back to the house, no extra stops. We shopped for hours and while I will admit that I had few bad moments with all of the crowds around (impossible to explain the horror playing in my head) and went through my daily doses of Xanax early in the trip, I survived. I even found myself relaxed while talking to interested parents, kids and a few veterans about Courage. I've actually spent whole days out of the house! Not too many, but, more than before I was gifted with this magnificent beast! I don't really consider him mine - If I should die sooner than later my Bro and Sis_n_Law wanted to be in line for him but, He will go back to Carol and Chris to go help another Veteran. There's a saying that my mind is like a bad neighborhood after dark - you don't want to go in there alone -he leads the way. Thanks Carol, Chris and all for this gift.
Here's something upbeat (for a change) I wrote recently -

“It’s not always easy being me, but there are times when I know in the fiber of my being that I've done the right thing….That’s a damn good day to be me.!” the 'right thing' in this case was going out of doors for a few hours...Love and Respect...Eddie
