Carnation,
You have my deepest sympathies on the loss of your dad. I, too, know what it is like to lose a close relative young and unexpectedly under sad circumstances. I know that in some ways you need to move on, but you never, ever, forget them.
At the risk of sounding trite...you are one classy lady. I enjoy reading your posts because you always have something thoughtful to contribute. I have nothing but admiration for you. God bless.
GLG
(PS: Caroline, I pray to God that the user is not a Greek national. My patience is very thin right now and I will give them a tongue-lashing the likes of which they've never seen before and will rarely see again. And I'll do it in BOTH languages just to make sure they get my drift. )
