Thanks for making me cry, Hoozh.

First off, I won't tell you how strong you are.

Secondly, I could use someone with some skin on, too. I have days when I exalt in the touch of a hair stylist just washing my hair, or my neice (who I see MAYBE once a year) just rubbing my arm. Pathetic, ain't it?

Third, I think what you are feeling is completely normal and understandable. You HAVE lost a lot, and/or at least have had, WHAT you had, change in its relation to you in some pretty dramatic ways.

Put more simply, your world's been turned upside down.

All I can tell you is that I care, and that there were, no doubt, some things about your OLD world that weren't so not, and that maybe, just maybe, what God has planned for BOTH of us is something BETTER on the other side of all this chit.

At least I hope so.

My prayers for you and C,

Puppy
