Who I am

   I have Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome.  It tried to destroy me, it couldn't.  It tried to break my spirit, not gonna happen.  It tried to kill me, but I am still here.  It took away my ability to work and provide for my family, but I still have love.  It tried to take away my identity, but I know who I am.  I am a Daddy.  I am a Husband.  I am an artist.  I am a friend.  I love the outdoors.  I am alive.
               I have CAPS, but it does not have me.
