Jabjo; Hey, that's just me, spreading sunshine wherever I go. *bg* But really. Maybe the biological link isn't so important as the fact that you have people around you that care for you. One of my nearest and dearest is a 70+ year old Scottish fart that was in WW2 with my grampa. He's been friend, surrogate father, big brother, whatever, and is no relation other than mutual love. If you have people like that you can consider yourself lucky regardless of what life sends you. Elle
