Sometimes It seems like a BAAAAD dream, eh Tal? You put it so very well.
I am a psychology prof and I STILL can't wrap my head around or explain a good portion of what happened with CJ. Some of it HE may never even be able to fully comprehend (that's an idea that doesn't sit well with me, but could well be true).
Hoping you have a great holiday...any special stuff you do? I'm always fascinated by how people "do" the holidays. For example some of CJ's sibs and families used to go to the movies on Christmas day!!
In my family that would be tantamount to sacrilege!
