sunstreet Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Dear Marty, Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I found it very enlightening. Sometimes I find even though I have experienced a lot of loss I am at a loss for what to say to help someone...so thanks very much. Very illuminating!
