Kates scenario:

[Guest guest]

Dear Kate;

I think what you wrote is a perfect rendition of how things are with us

all(some have all the problems that you wrote that goes along with the

dragon-others only some of the problems...but ANY of these

problems;ahem...;suck!

I cannot type TOO much today because of a biopsy done on my hand

yesterday;but I wanted to answer your post.(I have already typed 2

emails;so I should do okay!!!)

I agree that Stills has made me a more caring;and stronger person...all

of my past illness's and surgeries have. But I would say " good-bye " in

a heartbeat to it all;because I am one of the lucky ones: I have a

loving family and was brought up to love everyone. So-I would only hope

that I would have been loving and caring and strong,anyway(?)

Thank you for you posts. They made me think, all right!

Sincerly;Bram.
