appearence means a lot Karen, my wife and I have problems up the ying yang, attacking like the gang bang. But you'd never know by our outward appearence, we smile and laugh a lot, play and have fun, our power lies in our ability to handle our problems effectively and positively, sometimes I feel real crazy and insecure but it never shows, no use having a problem and suffering twice I always say. William Shakespeare quote similar to this, "the world is a stage, we are actors on it," Nobody has to know how crazy your life is but you, when we handle our own problems effectively in hard times, we inspire others, others will get jealous or lightened up themselves. I'm basically happy I can handle the messed up part of my life in a positve manner, read my poem "quarterback," hugs

Karen, you have expressed this so beautifully.

I had the very same thought George had. You are your sister's rock and she needs you very much.
Love,
Becca~

You don't have to talk Karen, your so good with speaking from your heart. Your heart knows exactly what to say. Bless you and your beautiful sister and prayers to both of you. Love, Bonnie

Your presence is what's important in her life. Being by her side is more important than any words could convey.
