Thank you Mila, snodderly, IB.

Mila -- I was surrounded by my family's love last week, but am now home, and with H and Ds and pup gone, it's pretty lonely. The change is quite dramatic. It makes me realize, yet again, how important my family is to me, how grateful I am for what is left, but also how sad I am for what is lost.

Snodderly, your calm and confident words always comfort me. I am caring for me, first, and then my Ds. It's a new way of thinking for me, but I know it's what I need to do right now.

IB, thank you for caring about me when you are going through so much. I know you are struggling right now, and all I can say is that we've all been there. Resolve to manage one minute, then 10, then 30, then 60...soon it will be one day, one week, one month. You can do this!
