veiled, it still surprises me when I post and surprise I see mine isn't the last, and someone else has posted. In this case you did. As was right, I did read what I thought I read about your m-i-l.

I just want to add that though you feel like you're at the beginning and relearning all over. IMHO, you're not in fact there. You've been progressively Healing. We return to trudge along at times, sometimes, but we do continue to heal, and hell who wouldn't be filled with some anxiety in tornado alley.

My 7yr. old son is always asking me about the weather patterns and the risk and possibilities of tornado's and other natural stuff in different states across the country then ours. For crying out loud he even wants to know what states the venomous snakes and spiders live in, where about and then states, well I won't be living there when I grow up.

Hope
