I am just amazed at the love and support radiating from you all. I can't believe how you're keeping this thread alive. Know that all the good wishes and hugs and love are having an affect- my head is still above water, I haven't drowned and I have glimmers of hope of survival.
Guest L, thanks for the insight. I'm learning that I'm not just visiting this new planet, I'm a permanent resident.
Joybell, it blows my mind that there are loving hearts caring for me all over this planet.
GracieK, I thought I knew most of Steeleye Span. What recording has that song? I'd love to hear it!
Yorkshire Yankee, you've mentioned two songs that mean so much to me. Bob Franke has put so many things into words for me that I have struggled to say. "Thanksgiving eve" got me through the pain of the tragedy of 9/11, and it's been echoing back in my heart lately. The other Franke song that keeps coming back has the refrain,
"There's a hole in the middle of the prettiest life,
So the lawyers and the prophets say.
Not your father nor your mother nor your lover's gonna ever make it go away.
Now there's too much darkness in an endless night
To be afraid of the way we feel
Let's be kind to each other
Not forever, but for real"
