JehJeh, Until now, I have never printed any of the posts I have sent or received. Yours is the exception. I consider it the highest compliment and shared it with my daughter, who, many years ago, had kidney cancer. She then took her experiences to become a patient advocate. I think silence is the silent killer from which too many people suffer. -- Last night, with his family, Russ and I celebrated his 95th birthday at a local restaurant where all those at tables with their own families sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He may not remember it tomorrow, but for that moment, he was the happiest guy alive. And slowly, I am going from exhausted to merely appropriately tired for someone who is 87. -- This adventure called life has taught me that change is always around the corner. Flexibility, hard work, and humor seem to be the key. Returning to my Writers Group and dusting off the art supplies in the room, which my lovely husband decked out to my specifications, are waiting to be resurrected. With luck, I will be a Phoenix and not a DoDo Bird. Thank you for your good wishes for the future. Love GloRo
