Kara, Thanks so much for the encouragement! Sometimes I think I just need to hear someone remind how good this is... to walk through this journey to honor this M and my family. I truly believe in what I am doing and I do know there is hope... I just need to be reminded in the down days. p.s. are you in the alt yet?
Pearl, no worries... I understand... parties are important! I really appreciate your offer about the book so don't feel obligated. You are awesome! I like the way you explained detachment. I am going to read that over a few times and let it sink in. I think that is an important distinction.
Mind, You rock! You never fail to make me smile, even on my down days. Love your idea! Let's make it happen!
