Joey:  When you said to Cheryl the words&quot; let the heart cry it&#39;s tears so it may one day sing laughter of the memories..... it was helpful to me.  Friday I leave for my cruise with a heavy heart.  As excited as I am Saturday will be the 8th anniversary of the passing of my mother.  She and I were extremely close and she died in my arms.  It has been ten years since my father died.  They both LOVED cruising and I was able to take two cruises with them.  I know they will be with me in spirit when I take this one.<br />

Cheryl:  I am so glad that your cancer is in remission and like you I was so very close with my Dad and miss him every day.  He is always in my thoughts.<br />
<br />
Jackie:  Sorry you have to wait until the 13th for results of your tests.  I think it is so cruel when they make you wait so long.  Hopefully, the news will all be good.<br />
<br />
Kareen:  Glad Anne is doing better.<br />
<br />
Robert:  Thanks for all of your words of wisdom.  They brought a great deal of comfort to those of us who deal with some difficult issues.  We are truly a unique kind of family here.<br />
<br />
Cheryl:  I am sorry to hear of the things you went through.  You are so lucky to have found Greg.  He seems to have brought to your life the love that you so needed and truly DESERVED.<br />

To all my friends let me just say how good it feels to be able to express feelings to people and know they are out there and care.
