Mark, I have doubts about everything, except friendship. Whtaever happened or didn't happen or is true or isn't, whatever can be proven or not proven, seen or not seen, the only thing I always trust is the truth of a friend. I think and I hope we are friends after all this time in this strange cyber way.....so I know you are talking from the heart and the beauty of your story comes from your belief and in having the guts to tell it......and I believe what you say for there is indeed much we do not know and possibly much we cannot know. On several occasions I've had something along the lines you describe with my parents and no matter what I'm told it may be, it is a reality for me.Bless you Doc for sharing it with us. You are, as I have often suspected, a very special man.
