((((Dinah)))) I feel the same way. In fact, I often think of this in terms of my therapist, especially last week when she was on vacation. It's sad. I'd rather have nothing, this way I don't have to worry about losing it.Years ago, someone told me the old saying, "It's better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all." I try to tell myself that, but I'm not so sure I buy it.
