Spike,

Thank you for that kind message. There really is no need to apologize to us for not being around much when your hurting. We all know too well what it's like in times like that. You don't want to do too much and just wish and pray that the pain will ease, even just a little, sometime soon. Sometimes just taking a few minutes to pass along or read a friendly message is all it takes to take your mind away from the pain, even if it's just for a moment. I'm not sure if my checking in on you has helped take your mind from the pain but it has helped at times for me. To know that others are thinking of you and do care about how you are doing. I think it makes a big difference.

I do hope that better days come soon. As always, we are here for you whenever you feel like talking.

Warm hugs
