Hello, Miss Molly. I'm so sorry. It's really rough; I know 'cause my dad is very ill, too. He has lung cancer and is fading quickly. I can't say much more, I'm not very articulate about these things and I'm on the verge of tears. My co-workers will question my sanity if they see me sitting at my desk, typing and weeping! They question it enough as is. Molly, it's fine to be psycho, out of control, vulnerable; I don't like being any of those things either, but sometimes it can't be helped.
I mostly wanted to thank you. Many months ago, I asked for some advice and your reply was so kind, spot on and funny! You are a treasure ... and I'm sure you are every bit as beautiful in person as you are in that avatar! Take care of yourself.
