Well, I certainly don't understand this merry-go-round that I'm on.  I'm sure others feel the same way.  I can go along and have a decent day or maybe even a few in a row and then for no reason that I can pinpoint the whole bottom drops out.  Last night I just couldn't stop crying and there was really nothing that triggered it.  I just had this overwhelming lonesomeness that I couldn't get under control.  I ended up at Clinton's grave talking to him for about 45 minutes.  I have lived alone for over 20 years so I'm not too dependant on others but when I did need a hug or an "I love you" I knew Clinton was just 2 miles away.  My oldest son and I have that same wonderful relationship but he is 812 miles away.  Do your feelings get hurt over stupid stuff?  Right after Clinton died I asked my daughter-in-law if she could add me to her cell phone plan for $9.99 per month (me paying that of course) so that I could have a cell phone in case of an emergency like the one we had just gone through.  She had me get a prepaid phone instead because it was going to jack up the rate on her plan too much.  It worked out okay for me but last night she had gotten a cell phone for her brother and put it on her plan.  As I just read back through this is looks so trivial and stupid but I can't tell you how much that hurt me.  Am I a nut case or do others have these same sort of things happen?  I'm a pretty by the book sort of person and I can follow instructions well but there are no instructions for this tragedy that has hit our lives and torn them apart.  I try to be positive, focus on the good things and keep everyone else encouraged but sometimes I just don't have it in me.  I continue to lift us all up in prayer for strength and peace and I thank you all for letting me ramble on...much love and support...Lynn

I guess we\'re ALL nut cases. It does seem that our feelings get hurt pretty easily these days, BUT, her behavior was pretty hurtful, too. It\'s just mean spirited and hard to figure out why people do the things they do.
