Lindsee’s Light
My name is Danny, a U.S. Navy disabled Veteran who has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, an emotional and psychiatric disorder who suffers from panic attacks, delusions, and constant fear of people. If I may, I wish to portray Miss Lindsee, a special MSA who has moved on from working at the VA.
Lindsee’s kindness, caring, brilliance and talent esteemed her to me as a legend and a hero to me, beyond anyone else I’ve known working there. She was critical in her part in my health and care, my well being, in her work helping myself and others. I am amazed and honored by her dedication, she has truly made a difference to me, making my life better. I am grateful to call her a friend, I wish her all she has worked so hard to achieve. This photograph I hope reveal the light of a beautiful, trendsetter lady who was unstoppable and unforgettable.
