I’m going to cool off. I may, or I may not be back.
Did you give the speech?! When you came here and asked, "How do I say these things?"
I thought .... That's the speech!
Say it!
"How do I say these things which were and are a part of my life???"
Anyway ... it's just me, illstillbe-who-you-are-mad-at, humbled by your history and hoping you said what needed to be said.
