Reindeer,
I'm a firm believer in the theory that all things happen for a reason and that whatever has happened is what was meant to be. I know that small solace, but hard as that may be, it's the only thing that helps me to get "through" sometimes. Still, this is a painful, heartfelt write - and I feel your pain.

I wish you peace in your heart.

Retta, it's as though we are looking at the world through a keyhole. We can't change the view unless we can figure out a way to open the door.
Sometimes the door wasn't made to be opened. Your words sting my heart, So very touching. Lisa
