my lucky stars that I have the family I have, they usually can't be here
to help (mostly out of state) but they are emotionally supportive and my
mother has been to see me a few times to help. I have had a lot of
acceptance and sipport from the friends (true friends) that I have. I
wish I could give you some of them so you could feel how I feel around
them!. Joellen
