thanks jerry. you are a sweetheart. my road has turned into a good one now, and i'm relieved and feel lucky. and have been free of health problems for 20 years. but i know things could have been very different.. yes, it has made me identify with people who have it hard.

one of my favourite songs is "Farther Along" - often I wonder why I must journey, over a road so rugged and bleak, then do I wonder why others prosper while with the lost i labour and weep..

farther along we'll know all about it..farther along we'll understand why, cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine, we'll understand it all by and by..
