      From skittle0407 October 1

      Thanks for saving the day, I did need some love. Been an awful week. Praying you are doing ok with less pain. Just don't have the ambition to fight for living, ever been there? Would rather just enter a dark hole and never come out till this life is over. I will get past it somehow, but its nice to know u r loved.
