Thank you for your kind words, they come at the exact time I need them. I've been trying to be strong, but tonight, the pain, the enormity of this all and the impact on the kids (and me) is just too much. You are right, it will make me stronger, I will learn new things about me and I'm sure going to go through these episodes again. Just the sense of failure is overwhelming.
Why me. But I guess we are all like that, feel that, not one of us would have believed that we would be in these positions. I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through your 25th alone. You sound so strong, Sue. I know I need patience.
Sage, thanks for the list. Sometimes it just seems like the most obvious things are so far out of reach. I'm glad there are clear thinking people around here when we are so far from level headed.
