Dear K, thank you. For understanding, and for replying. It really does mean a great deal to me, and I feel surprisingly ok with your reply. I have no idea what you meant by it, but it made me smile. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the universe has something good panned for us then, and put my trust in that. And if the universe doesn't come up with anything in six months or so, maybe I'll make my own 'luck' somehow!!! You and I are so different in some ways, but I love those differences as much as I love the things we share.
