Gardener - Thanks so much for looking in on Awoken. He has been reaching out to family, but I sometimes feel at a loss to help him. I've never been through this (Thank the Lord!) and don't feel I have the perspective he needs right now.
He's very down on himself. Breaks my heart.
Gardener, I have 2 or 3 threads that I follow regularly and yours is one of them. You make me think of things in a whole new way. I'm glad you are finding a new place that works for you. And I really enjoy your 'verbose' writing! :-)
