Esmerelda - I'm sorry for your loss. I know how much it hurts. I, like JJ, lost a very dear friend that I met thru the DIS last year. When BL died, I was devasated - still am, actually. I rarely come here anymore, for various reasons, but top of the list is the painful reminder that she isn't here anymore.
Minniepumpernickle - I tried to PM you when Dan gave me a heads up on your post (your box is full) Thanks for thinking of me - I am doing very well this year. Last year was a tough one, but I got some new miracle drugs & am bopping along better than I have in years.
