"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter."
Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

Thank you, my sweet blip friends for support, hugs and love that has helped me deal with this family situation. Our family will evolve into a new entity, and we will still love everyone involved.
