Last year.......just about this time as well (New Years Day....to be exact)......our luck, for the time, ran out! I hope this makes sense.......I hardly explain my inner thought very well.

I kept thinking......it's been a good three years and we have had such a wonderful time of it for a good long while. Things were going "too well" and I just knew that "the other shoe would drop" soon. I just didn't know when or how!

Sparing you the details..........the shoe dropped for us On New Years Day 2002. I am talking major stuff..........and it seemed to last for forever.......least ways.....till just this past November.

What I am saying db........is.........I know and feel your pain sweety! I don't know when the bad will get good again for you. Just know........it WILL! There are no downs without ups........there are no outs without ins.....there are no no's without yes's!

And with trial and tribulation............comes strength and confidence. The strength to go on and overcome.........and the confidence to know that better days are ahead!

My thoughts and love are with you and your family.....as I hope you know from previous conversations!
