(i really need to start my own t-shirt/boxer shorts hubby quilt.)<br /><br />take care of yourself. and again, as Supa said, we are here for you.abandonedsoulshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020499806998154330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170551381957828364.post-941302021054216962009-11-21T22:14:27.907-06:002009-11-21T22:14:27.907-06:00I remember that point, too, when I realized that a...I remember that point, too, when I realized that all I'd felt so far was just superficial. That the loss and hurt hadn't hit yet.<br /><br />I'm not going to tell you it will be easy, cause it won't, or that there is one trick because you will use all your tools and talents to survive and you'll gain some new ones -- but I will tell you that you can get through.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the only way out is through. We're all here for you, I do know that.<br /><br />HUGS<br /><br />SupaSupa Dupa Freshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659738264922395349noreply@blogger.com
