Stop blushing, Debbie!! It’s interesting, honest and you are a brave writer, Be proud!
Thank you so much Jacqui! Just what I needed to hear!!!
Oh Debbie, same situation. You make it all sound normal. Written in a most profound way. I needed to hear this!! Thank you.
Thank you Betsy! I’m feeling better about this article!
This was a great new angle for you; love to see you writing more about your newly evolving life!
Thank you so much! I felt a little exposed on this one! But I am trying to move into new life and less into grieving.
