Oh, I'm ever so glad you enjoyed reading it. Yes, I'm fortunate. I've not really had trauma in my life to speak of. Only the usual life changes that one must expect. Do you mean depreciated in my relationship with Jim? I suppose that may be slightly true. I have never liked him being away for long periods, although it was my choice to marry an officer in the military, so I can't very well complain. Is the significant unexpected problem relating to Evie? I hate to think of my Evie as a problem, a challenge maybe, but not a problem.

Thank you in any event, this was an interesting process and I enjoyed it.
