who am I?

So I find myself forced to wonder, as I watch my son process the fact that we are away over night, that as I observe his process, I'm forced to wonder about my own. I have to ask a question of anyone who reads this post, my goal is for honesty, not an ego boost. Am I any different from the person I was before before my house had the nerve to catch fire? I don't really feel any different, yet I have to wonder if I am and I'm the only one who doesn't see it. Is it possible who I am, under the surface had chaged and I'm the only one who doesn't see it. I firmly believe if you do not acknowledge who you have bern you cannot really call where you want to go. I want to grow but if I don't accept who I was! Good and bad, that can't happen. I encourage responses that involve honesty, even if you think its something I don't want to hear. I need to know who I was and I can't until I know who I was. Can't wait for a response!
