dear syb-sis susan thank you for sharing your thoughts with us while your entire post touched me one sentence jumped out: >My sense of humor has been my saving grace though all of this. i've been going through some kind of 'growth-spurt' during the past two years and grace is at the centre of it i call her 'gracie'! i am learning that laughter is a precious gift from her and that lack of a sense of humour is an indication of a soul in pain of a cry for help that's one of the reasons i've re-discovered silliness at least that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it! with love to you and yours your syber-sis janet [log in to unmask]
