Thank you Cookey,

What you said makes so much sense. I am afraid of my my own mortality. Between this surgery and losing my 4 mos. old niece all in one month makes life so scary now. This is a great website and with each passing moment and with all the wisdom that has come towards me I feel I can get through this. I feel better just knowing that what I'm feeling is okay. Thank you so much for writing. It really helped.
