Twinkletoes, thank you for your kind thoughts on Mom's love for me. I have gone over and over my life and have decided that she, for the most part, really did love me, especially over time and by getting to know me but I think she may have always felt tinges of guilt when she saw my successes and my failures. I would that she never felt that way.

Consider This, yes, I must admit this is why I gave myself this name. I chose it to try a feel more positive about myself in light of possible fas symptoms. I even celebrated my Birthday, in another Forum on a different day this year, Valentines Day! The sadness is subsiding but I had no idea it would take this long.

Thank you,
Happy Birthday
