What I find myself still thinking about is...where DWDitty said, "Dear Mudcatters, I have not been around in quite a while, and, in fact, have not even had time to read this whole thread. I do feel the need to post here, though. Last Thursday..."
... isn't the whole point to respond to, contained in that? Isn't it that simple? Isn't the most basic need expressed there and can't it be answered there?
Such as--
DWDitty, I am glad you can come here, I am glad you did, I am glad Jeremy was so wonderful.... I'm glad for the glimpse of him you give us... thank you for letting us share a part of your burden at his loss... you are welcome to share more of it if you can, we are here......
