UPDATE An odd thing has happened during the past week.  I have had two e-mails and one postcard from my brother (showing a picture of one of his grandchildren), plus three e-mails and two phone calls from my sister.  I cannot quite figure out what is happening.  Are they trying to kill me with kindness?   I am seeing my therapist at the mental health clinic tomorrow.  I am hoping he will be able to determine whether they are trying to drive me crazy or something else!
