Thank you wisewoman. I have followed as best I can your unreal life and just am slackjawed.......well I'm slackjawed anyway but with all you and your family are going through I'm speechless as well! You're holding up splendidly.

I am surviving. Which is so different than other times when I just fell to pieces and surfaced ages later wondering what had happened.

It is strange not knowing how some things get done especially when I'm not feeling great overall but like you said it is a nice gift out of all this!

I most likely am nuts to have stayed for all three days and 300 ppl through the house but with that many I'm a non trusting cynical bulldog!

plus good socializing for dog........most ppl were animal lovers and gave lots of attention. wasn't all bad just feels like it! lol
