Thank you UR, Coming from you this really means a lot to me!
Wonkers: I'm not sure where you are kissing me, but if it's bald I can assure you it's not my head!
daring: Thank you also for the kind words. I am truly honored to know that I have helped you in some way.
Italian: Thanks for the hug! Dealing with my emotions can sometimes be a struggle, (for brief periods) but I honestly do not worry about my W's wellbeing any more than I would have prior to crises. She is doing very well, I'd say.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
