Dubz,

Love your new avatar!!! Really refreshing -- brings back happy memories.

DId your parents have reasonable expectations for you growing up? Did you experience unconditional love?

Your post reminds me of the times right before I lost the two dearest people to me in the world. The first time I was in my 20's, and I had just bough a red coat. Boy, was it a nice coat! I looked and felt like a million dollars in that coat. It wasn't too long after that, that my beloved older brother died suddenly.

Then I had one of the best times of my life with my church family from my church in Orlando, FL. We had gone to Israel on an almost three week journey. When I got off the plane at 11:00 p.m. in Orlando, my husband had the sad job to tell me my Mom had passed away while I was gone. They had been unable to reach us.

Will you PM me about your issue.

Hugs,

EJ
