Chatty...I totally understand what you mean...each time I see this young man my heart lurches and I get a huge lump in my throat..I can't imagine waking up every morning and not having a family...he wrote me the most loving and appreciative thank you note after Thanksgiving..of course I cried for about 2 hours and then took another 3 to compose myself enough to call him and talk to him ...he told me that he can't believe how much I remind him of his Mom...that we have the same sense of humor and that I worry about him too much the same way she did...anyway...I'm hoping one day soon he will meet the girl of his dreams and maybe start a family of his own...the sad thing is...he confessed to me that he so afraid to really fall in love because..."Everyone I love leaves me"...I almost wrote to Dr. Phil to try and deal with that one..by the way Chatty...how is the weather in Las Vegas? wish I was there...the winters in Philly are LOUSY!!!....
