Adversity builds character

This may be the worst thing I have ever had to go through, but I can look at it as par for the course.  Life has been good, and then bad, and then good again.  This makes us strong.  It compares to the process for tempering steel.  In the end, I bet it might leave me a little more callused and embittered, but that is where the human factor comes in.  You can let it effect you however you wish.  What I turn out to be, is up to me.
