KatieB Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Thanks Laurie, I'm feeling better these last couple of days. It seems to come and go- at least my grieving process anyway. Sometimes- when I have a minute to myself, I remember how all this started, and I just miss my dad so very much- and wish he were here- to see everything (new baby now too) and to talk to and to hug. I'm ok. Thanks for all you do and for your support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
