Dear Allison, Just a short note to say I'm thinking about you and wishing you more sunshine and less clouds. I know when I lost a dear friend in may this year, my initial reaction was "how can the world keep going on" I know it sounds silly but I think it has something to do with shock or something. But the world did go on and after a while so did I. I often talk to my friend and have a feeling he is near me. I wasn't going to post to this thread because everytime I opened it I ended up in tears, but I remembered the support I got and how important that was. So here I am from a long way away trying to help you feel better.
