That's SO good that you have been able to do that and be so open and sensible about it,Liz. Your daughter will always be grateful for that, I am sure.

You, too, Villan, I agree with you and Liz. I don't think you sound mean at all. It is shameful what we allow with people. I was grateful when my dad finally passed, even though he hadn't had to be away from home for very long at the end, it was just time and best that he let go. Nevertheless, I still miss him and extend my sympathies.

At the moment I am really thankful for the good doctor I have been going to who caught a misdiagnosis and got me the right meds to get better from pneumonia. It's been a long two weeks, but I have turned the corner and it is definitely something to be grateful for!

VTam, I figured those were your own diagrams ala your beaded work. BTW, do you have any photos online which we might see?
