I'm not sure why it has taken me so long or what it was that trigged it. A prayer request. A tale of courage. The loss of someone dear to one of my good friends here. But tonight, right now, 8:30pm GMT Sep 14 2001, I feel the greatest sadness I have felt in a long time. All the friends I have had that are no longer with us. All the relatives that I can no longer visit. All those people who could have been friends and, now, I will never know. They are all flooding back and the pushing out the tears.

Ah well. I always was a bit slow I guess. My son just came in and showed me joecartoon.com - cheersed me up no end.

Thanks for listening and just being there. I feel better now.

Peace
