      Amanda, I so hope you are doing ok? Our sisutations are so similar, i think--unfortunately, huh? I had glanced over another one of your messages that I was leaving for one of our mutual friends and I read your cncern for your little sister. It is hard: I am 5 yeaars older then my brother and ten years older then my sister. God has blessed me in many many ways in giving me two siblings who were able to stand on ttheir own two feet fairly young and fast-thank the Good Lord above. My brother is a engineer with Burnlintong Northern and has been since the age of 1--so yu know the grand ole age of retirement of 45 is creeping up on him. My whole family is a reailroad family--I could go to work there too, truth be know about it. My Dad was legally blind and unfortunately, doctors were unable to tell if he actually caught it from Agent Orange in Vietnam or from pesticides they used on the railroad tracks--so long story short, us Dennen children are guarnateed a job for life at good ole Burlington Northern. Too bad they stink and are hard to drive. But not a bad thing to have in this day and age, although it was in on way shapre or form worth my Dad's job and eyesight. My Dad loved his job. My little sister, now 30--is asocial worker for the state of Missouri and a darn good one if I say so myself. Anyway, saw your post and your worries for your sister--she will be fine...anyone 27 and under is resislent, I think--they bounce back faster then you can throw the stupid ball to begin with. Hope you are doing well--lots of prayers and lots of thoughts coming your way, I know life is not easy right now for you. Lisa D

      Just thinking of you and hoping that you are doing ok, considering the cirumcstances. Find solace in your local support groups, and in your family too. DS is great, but it is not face to face--and sometimes that is what you need the most.--Lisa

      I just read about your mom and wanted you to know that I am thinking about you today. My mom has stage IV colon cancer. This is one of life's hard times for us both.
      Hoping every day is better,
      JK

      Laughter is the valve on the pressure cooker of life. Either you laugh and suffer, or you got your beans or brains on the ceiling.
