maire-anne, you have started one of the best threads I have read in a long while. I love, and am in awe, of the honest sharing of feelings and fears here. I cannot offer much, as this doesn't apply to me. But I am learning a great deal from what you have started. And to read the comments of Jeri, who has become a very important person in my world, gives me a whole new appreciation of this wonderful woman.

Should I ever hit the big lottery, Cuillon, you will have your land. Would that it could be true.

All the best,

Mick
