SorryDog, Our stories being similar. Absoufriggin'lutely. I'm so sorry for you Bro'. This pain, and to hear of it being yours also just sucks. And for Theo, and Husband, and all.
"PS ...on the positive side; my relationship w/ our Lord is where I seek my validation with Him alone...I said "seek", but I know from this all things can flow..." Ain't that the truth?!?!? I don't know how I could have lived thru this without that "validation". It is so hard to do the right thing, but doing the right thing is probably beyond most of our abilities to fully comprehend. But being able to trust in God above, makes it possible to do.
I've missed chatting with you guys lately. I hope all (other than our nightmares being well, duh ) is well. BoB
