Am I messed up to?

I know in my heart that I shouldn't feel bad, just because of everything, but I can't help feeling sad for her.

Tad,

The fact that your heart is communicating these emotions just shows that you DO have a conscience in there and a dollop of compassion to boot. What does this mean? It means you're alive and feeling!! Embrace and celebrate this revelation, dude.

What you focus on expands. You're focusing on your pain. Take your hand off that hot stove, darlin'. The stove is for cooking the headless turkey formerly known as "Charlie", not headless Tad. wink
