jelly, I do remember you. I am glad you posted on my thread. It prompted me to visit yours. Your first post on this thread was just beautiful. One of the nicest I have ever read.

We are all trying to find ourselves in this world. I have a theory that we only know ourselves in the end. in other words, life is like a book and we don't "get" the characters (ourselves, in this case) until the last page, when we see how the story ends, when everything finally fits into place. Sure, there are things that we want to do, and ways we want to be, or ways that we imagine ourselves. We are all searching for meaning. Thing is, you may not know what the meaning was until the end. Two books that helped me focus on this are The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey, and Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

Keep putting one foot in front of the other. I wish your mother recovery and much comfort.

Best,

RAI
