No sympathy here (since that implies pity) but plenty of empathy.

At first, I used to dream that all of this never happened. Probably because I'm old enough to remember Season 7 (1985)the original Dallas TV series, when Bobby Ewing "died" only to find out in Season 8 (1986) that Season 7 and Bobby's death had all been a dream. Oh, how many times have I wished that all this cancer was a bad dream and our lives were whole the way that we had planned.

Yes, let's hear it for the "abnormal" days . Our hope lies in the fact that psychologists' and psychiatrists' studies uniformly show an "emotional baseline "suggesting that most people inevitably return to a certain emotional baseline after circumstantial highs and lows. Tincture of Time
