Laughing, The information that you received today was given to you for a reason. Since I do not know what transpired during the entire conversation, I'm going to make a suggestion and possibly go out on the largest limb...sit down and recall the conversation to the best of your ability...it's not the softening of the heart that you are to have now, but to better understand why Dick is the way he is. The message is to look deeper into the conversation and the key is there in how to deal w/him. The obvious may be right in front of you and you can't see if for all of "white noise" floating around you.
BTW, did you attempt to contact me over on 40/60 on April 7th? I went there last night and had a message asking for assistance from a "Deleted Member". Didn't know if you had posted a PM to me and wanted to touch base w/you here.
If you want my thoughts on the conversation, you know how to reach me.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
