Susan, thank you so very much for your encouraging words. You always make me feel good even with writes that i am not that crazy about....tried to rework this every which way....edit, and go over again and again, but this is what i ended up with-the final product. Had so many feelings directing me all at once. You are a dear and ever so generous with your comments. Poemhunter is truly blessed to have a writer here that is more than kind, generous, and brilliant. You make coming here to write a wonderful experience once again. Theo
