so very sorry to read that you are closing out, but I guess you have your roads to follow as you see them. I have been more than a bit out of sorts lately (lately? = hell, for much more than that!) and have nothing to offer in the way of excuse, other than my mind has not been what is used to be. I am well, but that is about it. I have my problems now and they will never go away, I fear, and that is part of what has kept me silent the last few months or more. I was going to try to send you a message today, and this is not the one I had thought of, but here it is, for what it is worth. I still miss you, and I still love you, and that will never change, even to the end. After that, who knows? Please, Dorothy - take good care of yourself and try, once in a while, to remember the boy that, while holding you in his arms, was also holding an angel. Not many can say that ~peace..., and LAR.
