Thanks, Elaine!! I really appreciate hearing your feedback. You pegged it better than I did -- accepting the reaction and feelings. At some point we have to accept that we feel the way we feel about something - period! I always resent it when you share with some one, "I feel ....." and they say, "Don't feel that way" or "You shouldn't feel that way." Well, darnit, I feel what I feel! So when I accept the fact that I'll feel scared still, I don't feel guilty or weak or disappointed. It's just my human response to this unique pain. Now what I do with those feelings is my responsibility and my choice to pick a positive path...or not? Thanks, again. I always value your thoughts. Glad we're FB buds, too! I enjoy watching your journey. Chris
