Oh my gosh!

I just reread my message and realized that the first half of it did not get posted! I didn't just dive in like that, honest. I'm sorry that it appears so abrupt. In the part that disappeared, I mentioned that my best friend's two little brothers died of illness while I was in junior high and high school. After that I knew that to endure the death of a child would be my ultimate nightmare- and I commend you for your strength and perseverance. I am a newbie around here, but I don't think that's important in matters of empathizing.

I just wanted to soften what got posted- I'm really not that cold. I hope that you are doing well and enjoyed your holiday.
