Hi Kathy and others,

It's Sat morning and I'm overwhelmed by the replies. Words cannot describe my gratitude and the prayers and comments touched my heart. Amazing how people I have never met can offer more compassion in my time of need than anyone I know.

Tough evening as I discovered a woman who I thought was a dear friend (and more) was not. It caused me to reflect on the many, many betrayals esp from family. HAving been a Christian in a family of aethiests is quite the experience.

It's been very hard at times to accept that trusting in people to do what's right is not prudent so perhaps it's best to become less optimistic re: all people?

So a sincere and heartfelt "Thanks" for the thoughts and prayers - it's good to know the "FRiends" here are sincere.

Thanks again everyone - it's been awhile since I've felt any warmth & compassion from another human....even though this is all electronic warmth.

Jim

PS: I don't know how to reply to more than one freeper - hope y'all see this.
