Perhaps a docudrama or book is in order!
WOW! You did get quite a blow in such a short time!
Thank God for family and the fact that they love us and help us!
Remember that you've still got your brilliant mind and your ability to keep rising above!
That guy must be nuts! But we're all so very different when it comes to emergencies! He must have forgotten to stand in that line when it was given out!
No advice, but tons of belief in you and your ability to problem solve your way to a better tomorrow!
I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and sending up prayers!
