I hope you are feeling better soon. Sounds like that bug has got you down just a bit.

As for the letter, don't let it get you down. They have to come up w/something to explain away why the divorce is taking place. They want us to look like the bad guys even when we aren't the ones that are acting off kilter.

I'm sorry to hear that one of the ladies in your "D" group is having a very difficult time. Share the knowledge that you've gained here w/her. She really needs a friend right now and hopefully things will settle down for her soon.

Please take care of yourself. BTW, I think a puppy is a splendid idea and one that you and your dad both can enjoy. Any thoughts on what type you might get?

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
