It caused me much pain to read both of your recent posts. Sandy, honey-your loss will take so much time to get over and to ever figure out the Lord's plan; perhaps not in this lifetime! Please know that I will keep you & your family close in my thoughts and prayers. And Marco, your post, altho it has a happy ending and a new biginning rather than a final loss gave me the shivers! It brings into sharp focus those nebulous thoughts that we all have in the backs of our minds-is my relationship strong enough to handle the changes wrouhgt by my disease. While you could view your stunning loss as a heart chrushing experience; you have indeed given us reason to rrejoyce with you! I wish you all the best as you begin your new life and you, too, will be in my prayers. -- Joan E.
