dan,
no, you didn't miss it. i haven't yet introduced my sister by name. she hasn't yet agreed to join this board and i can't but respect her wish for annonymity. i'm still hoping that she'll regain enough of her usual strength and outgoing self to join and introduce herself, in her own words. i relay to her some of the exchanges that take place here, so she hears of others' experiences and wisdom and knows some of the stories. i know that most of the times that has a positive effect on her. as i know that the collective support people have given me has been necessary and very positive for me.
good thoughts, healing and peace.
