Julia, I think what most of us will be facing in the future will be the fact that we are now "aware of our surroundings" and the next person may not be as much as we are. But I think the lessons learnt are priceless and there is no absolute way, that they will be lost. Have faith in you and the growing process you had to face. Your life is ahead of you and "true love finds it's way in our hearts thru the cracks...". xxx K
