Thank you everyone for your outpouring supports. I've been strong through it all, but that doesn't mean I'm not deeply hurting. I haven't cried with anyone but my husband (because no one knew about it!) - but I've cried reading this thread, and it helps because pain shared is pain divided.
So, I thank you once again. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts & prayers. Throughout my life, especially in difficult times, prayers have always been my lifebuoy!
