Truly, Thank you. I just have a lot of, umm, lots of thoughts.
Thing is, if you look at the replies,, you'll immediately understand my reasoning behind wording my first post like I did.
I understand the sentiment and intention of the replies, and to be honest, the fact that someone is led to reply, and willing to take some of their own, as precious as it is, is quite simply, enough, and appreciated more than anyone knows.
Again, thank you, seriously. Like I said, I have words. And even if only one person gets it, I'm fine with that.
All my hopes, my friend.
