Hi,Phillywoman, I know what you mean but things in life that occur + tragic are always at the back of our minds, but I don't let the past get me down, I recall what gave me confidence and what didn't, but my understanding is to Support-Live-Love-Laugh to help us cope, Take care.

Babs, I am so sorry this happened to you and you will perhaps never forget but try very hard remember it happened in your past. Try to live today and remember there are people today who support you and love you. I love you
