Re: Not the news i had hoped for
Hey SheilaGirl
You versus a fairy? ... that's a no-brainer ...
Sorry you have so much to deal with right now.
I know you will find the strength to carry on ... you are
made of some very special stuff ... you go girl! You've
got a HUGE cheering section. Onward and upward ...

Re: Not the news i had hoped for
Sheila,
There is really nothing more that I can add, but to say that you have many, many people wishing you some peace and light.
Hope that Spring has sprung where you are and there is some sunshine in your day.
