Oh Wendy, how sad this is! You have every right to be happy about how things are going with Steve. I'm disappointed that you've been criticized for sharing that joy. We can't control how things turn out--good or bad. All we can do is work with whatever we're given.

Our situation was something I was reluctant to share here. But, the generosity of people on the OCF forum--people who have suffered tremendously at the hands of the beast--helped me to enjoy our good (and at times, dubious) fortune. That these people could be happy for us was humbling and deeply touched my heart.

I have always thought that it is good for the soul to be happy when the fates are particularly kind to someone. I am truly happy for you and Steve.

You have given so much of yourself here. I appreciate your compassion and kindness. You helped talk me off of a mental ledge on more than one occasion! I hope you don't stay away. You have a great deal of knowledge to share. And, you give people hope.

Love you, my friend!
Sandy
