I tried to follow your blogger profile to see if I can get in touch with you, but there's no contact info. I would love to talk more, and there's a recent piece written by Hanen (whose blog I believe is linked here) that speaks exactly to your need to see people surviving. I so remember needing that EXACT support after Otis died.<br sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15316131078833658090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760134077739485292.post-33520023093368434002010-11-07T16:34:14.308-08:002010-11-07T16:34:14.308-08:00Sarah, my much-much-much-loved friend.
