Fluff,

I just wanted to join in and tell you I know you are having a rough time and I wish I could help in taking it away. I don't have any corny jokes like Perna, but I too laughed at them. They are funny. And it is better to laugh.....anyways,

you are being so strong in this times of really tough stress and emotionally draining times. I think you are showing a great deal of emotional fortitude even if you don't think so. Remember we are our worst critics and our worse believers in ourselves. I think we on PC are able to see the best of you, while you just nitpick yourself to death. You are doing so much better I think than the last time I spoke to you via email. So please give yourself some TLC, take it bit by bit, small step by small step. And try to think of yourself in more objective terms, like you were telling anyone on this forum some comforting words. At least then, you would be a little bit easier on yourself. You need to grieve the loss of the relationship no matter how it has been, it is still a demise of something you once thought was worthwhile, at some point. It is hard turning loose. And you said you thought you were losing your best friend. That is hard. But it seems to me, you have tons of new best friends. yeah I know they are in cyber land. But hey, they are the best. They love you. That counts for LOTS. Hang in there. You are making progress.
