Sheryl,<P>I know you love me, dahlin!!!!!!!! <P>I don't even feel the slightest bit singe'd, either!! <P>OK, I am going over to David's post and use my best black-belt kick butt moves and give him some more GREAT advice!!! He'd better lsiten, too. I have too many balck-belt friends who might be waiting in the parking lot of his church and he'll never know what hit him!!!!!<P>Read the post that you are going to talk to the lady minister. GREAT! One step forward!!!<P>My prayers are coming in strong via e-waves, my dearest friend!!!!!<P>Desiree <BR><P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

NB>...<P>Nobody hates you - we could never do that.<P>The only thing I have to offer to you at the moment - is that I just said a prayer for you your H. <P>I've sort of lost my faith through all this, but it's coming back, more every day. Usually I pray at night when I'm in bed, but I've just said one for you now. It's Mon. 11 am here - so I'm early.<P>I have no answers, or even wise words, but I wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you, and sending you hugs.<BR>Stop biting those nails, eat fruit (or at least chocolate covered FRUIT) and hang on.<P>Women are so strong, so much stronger than the menfolk - (sorry guys) and you'll be carrying the burden for some time. But, you can, and will, do it.<BR>We love you, and I feel David does also. He's still there.<P>Go to that beach, and walk, walk, walk,. The sea breeze always clears my head, and the smell just invigorates me. I love it. I've done a lot of my crying at the beach - go release those endorphins (or whatever they are) and make yourself feel better. You deserve it.<P>We love you, and could never hate you. Get that thought out of that head right now.<P>Hugs for you<P>Jo xxxxxxxx

<B>RMA</B>, <P>He'll get back to you later, hopefully, and he did read what you wrote. That's first. Second, thanks for using your prowess to try to convince him to seek counseling and possibly meds - hey!, whatever works, ya know??<P>Love ya tons and tons too!! <P><B>Bonnet</B>, <P>Thank you for the prayers and BOY!, do I wish I could actually get to the beach. It is unfortunate that I live in the desert - BLECH, BLECH AND DOUBLE BLECH, I <B>hate</B> it here!! But I see water daily because there's a lake in the middle of where I work, so I'll meditate on that tomorrow!<P><P>------------------<BR>The good life is a process, not a state of being.

new_beginning -- Hello my friend. First of all I don't hate you and from what I've erad on this thread, neither does anyone else here.<P>I wish that I had some magical words which would release your pain, or would touch David's heart, but I simply am not very good at that sort of thing.<P>So, since that is the case, I will simply tell you that you are both in my thoughts. I am praying for you both that your pain will subside.<P>God Bless
