Julieann,Tina,Paul and Cheryl,
Thank you for the kind words and thoughts. They mean the world to me because I know only this Forum understands. My family helps but different.
I slept good last night but I had a moment this morning of disbelief. It took me a second to grasp that I was here again - waiting...
My 3 year definitely helps me be distracted.
Thank you all.
