Dotsie --

When I re-read my last post -- it sounds like I'm trying to diminish your pain and anger at losing your walking partner and friend -- and for that I apologize --

I know it hurts to lose her -- lose something you looked forward to and enjoyed -- one of those times that made the rest of the day of taking care of everyone else, bills, household duties, etc -- worthwhile and bearable at times. Now the child in you wants to stomp her foot and say NOT FAIR NOT FAIR -- I understand this and feel it myself at times

but bottom line sweetheart --- there's nothing in the world you can do about it -- so there's where my other post comes in -- if you can't beat it -- join it Your only other choice is to quit completely and wallow in the loss of something that's not only healthy for you but you once truly enjoyed.
