No abandonment here, luv. You've got embracing arms all around you, to hold you up, to give you comfort. I'm not going anywhere. Neither is anyone else here. Believe in our friendship, really believe. Won't be easy at first, most likely. But you're well beyond the reach of anyone who' d hurt you now that you're here. Now give us a smile. Call that a smile? I think you can do better. In fact, I know it. Well, that's a start. But how about ... ? Oh, I dunno. Betcha can. Drop me a personal line if you need to, OK? I've said it to you before. You've got a lot more guts than you give yourself credit for. Ta. Cheshire
