Dear swan..mostly i lurk....but i haver learned so much about your family over the last couple years..not all of which i agree with...but a lot of it i find myself nodding at while reading...i agree...and intend to remember....no one need an explanation of how we lead our lives...linda
Sorry for the MIA - a trip out of town followed immediately by parent crisis ongoing...but wanted to say how much I appreciate and agree with that statement. Also, I have so enjoyed our discussions here. You, and Tom have been willing to answer questions when I felt stupid and naive, and I have tried to be respectful. At other times, I have felt that we are in parallel hormonal lives, or have similar/ dissimilar emotional bents and want to discuss. I hope that when it's not a good time, or good question, or you don't want to that I will know that rather that overstepping something I value.
linda --It is nice to "meet" you. Feel free to spend time with us, and join in the conversation whenever you like. swan
Impish -- First, let me offer my deep sympathies for the various struggles with aging parents. Surely we understand what it is you are coping with. You've been a wonderful visitor to our blog over the years, and I think we've grown a very good friendship. As different as our lives are, you have always been kind and respectful, and that is a gift that we deeply appreciate. Be assured that, should you ever ask some question that we are not comfortable answering, we are quite capable of drawing that line. And -- given our history, it would be hard to believe that you would ever intend to cross that line.hugs, swan
