((((Butterfly))))<P>It's so hard what you're going through, and my prayers are with you.<P>Your grandma sounded like a truly neat lady, and I know you'll always have a special place in your heart for her. She's left an indellible impression upon you, and you're lucky to have had such a wonderfully profound woman in your life.<P>Your friend, I cannot even say how sorry I am for what happened. <P>I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking and praying for you.

((((((((((Butterfly))))))))))<BR>Just want you to know I'm still thinking about you and hope you're doing ok.<P>Are you feeling any better? The counseling may be a good idea. Do you have a counselor already?

Eveyone,<BR>Again, THANK YOU! <P>I am doing much better this week. The sadness is still lurking around a little, but is not an overwhelming presence in everything I do. I honestly think the best thing I did was to put into words what was going on in my head and in my heart, and then to have a good cry (or 2 or 3) and get it all out.<P>I talked with my friend's H this weekend.... to make sure he was doing all right. We talked about Thanksgiving and Christmas two years ago (when we were all together), and about all the good times. We cried a little, but it was overall a very upbeat conversation.... lots of happy memories.<P>I'm going to make it through this. I have actually been able to smile and laugh again, and not be comsumed by the grief like I was less than a week ago. <P>You guys are better than any greif counselor! You let me spill my guts, and then offer support and love and prayers and hugs.... I can't say it enough.... THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
