Thank you...
Mary Jo-

What a lovely post! Thank you. I am sitting here weeping about Caryn's passing and Ed's struggles and Marie's & Eric's courage and strength as caregivers. I am just so overwhelmed. I am sorry we all have to be here but so very very very grateful that we have each other. MA, what a wonderful anology. I loved that movie and those geese were amazing, tossed around and fighting to fly in that wind.

Thank you again for the group hug.

Maureen

Mary Jo,

Thanks for reminding all of us that we are here for each other, as well as for ourselves. You always know how to reach out and touch us----or maybe hug us!

Holding all in my thoughts and prayers.
