This is in reply to ta2doc.

I totally sympathize with your best friend in ill health.

I had my child and best friend for 22 years.........don't mean to hijack the thread here but, she meant the world to me and if you want to see me -then - what you see was partially shaped by her being in my life for 22 years.

She's the bigger one. Passed 12/12/07 mercifully of a heart attack. The little guy is my now only child. I Know just HOW YOU FEEL! HUGS!
