I'm right there with you otw. At least you have a reason to keep in touch - no kids for me. At best, it is a random thought or picture that gets sent via text. All the while, hopes pop up and reality strikes them right back down.

I too have been a little jealous of others' ability to maintain contact. Then I remember how much of a nervous wreck I become shortly after contact. Today is one of those days I just want to get off the ride.

Pho, sorry to hijack for this post. Just needed a second to vent and agree with otw. For what it's worth, I have read and followed your postings for some time. You are incredibly strong. Hijack over.
