Hey everyone... massive hugs and support are here!

Doody, I'm so sorry about your pain... and thank God that you have Grandoody! Enjoy experiencing the new memories and bringing back the old! Each time you tell us about that little guy, my heart warms so I want to thank you for that! I feel blessed to have you share with us!

KathyM... your son should be home today? I am happy about that and in the same breath, so sorry to hear of your other troubles and the loss of your husband's aunt. I'm also sorry that he has to give up precious time with your son. A difficult time for you guys for sure

Abbie, I hope you enjoyed the wedding unscathed!

Wren and sunnyside - I hope you guys can get through each day knowing that you have touched the lives of others here - namely, ME. I may not always talk directly to you .... because others have already said what I felt ... or because you've already hit the nail on the head... or whatever reason... my own depression, etc...
me BP - thanks for saying what we all feel!

To everyone ... Thank you for being a part of us. I'm sorry for what brought you here in the first place... and on the other hand, grateful that you found us.
Thank you for making a difference

OK, I know this is the plate thread.... so, on my plate is some cheese toast! ...

I'm safely at my sister's in the Kootenays .... lots of snow around us. I don't hear sirens, honking horns, beeping garbage pickup trucks, airplanes, ... just silence and lovely music. Life is so much calmer here compared to the city.

While the family is working, I'll catch up with my online work but first I had to visit here
