Jim - Glad you got yourself cheered up. I knew you could do it! Been thinking a lot about everything said here re our children. I think that sometimes when we feel neglected or maybe just ignored, it may not be the intention of those we love to send such a message to us. The message we receive is not always the message sent. We all have our own concerns, obligations, joys and stresses and depending on how these are affecting us at the moment, our "messages" will be impacted as well. Just know that you do have a family here that cares about you and wishing you success in your upcoming surgery. Hang in there, baby!
