Wonderful, Karen. Those to whom we are close we can forge very substantial weight-bearing bonds, so that whatever the situation, we both get through. Reminds me somewhat of S&G's Bridge Over Troubled Water. Hopefully, the merging streams of life will revitalise the will to survive. You convey much emotion in a well-controlled way. Kate xx

It's so difficult being so sensitive to other's pain. You have made it through, now you must let it go, so you will not feel it any longer.
