> DinahHi Dinah:
Sorry I took awhile to get back, but believe it or not, I was even a bit scared to open your response. But, after my thoughts and your usual caring responses, I realized I had nothing to be scared of. The oddest thing is that I am not even "normally" (whatever that means!..heh) much of an aggressive person. It's like, I'll have my odd moment or day, and snap, but then I always come back to "clean up the broken eggs and spilt milk". Time, too, can often be a great healer, and the sad part is we have so little of it here. Now I know living day in and out with these dreaded illnesses seems *too* long of a time also, but when you do get those special moments of "Truth and Beauty", it feels like time is just running away. Last night I held a friend of mine's baby daughter, and just felt like I was in this trance, my senses, the sweet smell and the milky skin of a child felt like I had the entire meaning of life right there in my hands.
Anyhow, I am running off as usual...sorry...but it is *very* important to me, even on something like the internet and our little "babble" community, to try to mend when I let things fall apart. I hope you are as well (as can be...I know), so please take good care.
Best, and sincerely,
Jay
