I appreciate that!

The death of my brother-in-law was very hard. My son was able to be in the ER, and then went to his house and did the clean-up. That was difficult for him to do, and was tough for some time. I still feel bad, because I know he was going to try and quit the pain meds. I had told him, about 9 days earlier, that based upon my experience, that process is brutal on the body and mind. It takes you to dark places that really don't exist outside your head. I wish I had stayed in closer touch with him.

And thanks for even mentioning an appreciation thread -- though I have no need for that. The combination of the responses to my essays, and being able to comment on others' OPs, is much more than enough. I enjoy being a community member here.
