I'm right there with you, and watching you/over you closely. I have no idea what emotions will wash over me in less than two weeks time, but I know they will not be joyous. My friends want me to be joyous, triumphant, jubulous. I do not feel that way. I still feel as if I have somehow failed, even though I know it was not of my doing.

I believe you have to grieve and mourn, as wise Beatrice says. And while Braveheart takes a hard line, there is truth to be learned in that, as well. Take what you need from everyone here and leave the rest. It's all we can do for now.

Oh, and hope you made it through the storms okay Dallas. You are only 4.5 hours from me, so I suppose you got smashed into as well.
