I've written other stuff to the list that i thought really deserved discusion-but this isn't one of them...let me say for the record that i never mean to offend anyone by anything that i say-just to open up the door for discussion. i understand that my kids have a tough time w/ my disease but they deal w/ it pretty well for the most part; jus tlike they handeled grampa's decline w/ alheimer's & other major upsets in their lives-i hope that one day they will become the compassionate, caring human beings that i hope them to be and not on Sally Jesse!!! Please, everyone-i'm not mad atanybody and there is no reason for anyone to be talking about leaving-Hilary & Kristi, please contact me off list so we can straighten this all out-pretty please??? -- Joan E.
