Ellen:
Well, it’s made me stronger that I think I can deal with anything, anything that comes my way, or pretty much bumps in the road now and not so much, you know they say, “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” Well all the stuff is small stuff compared. I think it’s also given me a greater acceptance of myself, not to be so hard on myself, to be more tolerant and more patient, to give me, and the people around me, more tolerance.

I don’t think I had that tolerance before and that’s given me the opportunity to learn to be a better person and to be more patient and giving and accepting of people.
