to get past any feelings, you need to feel them and acknowledge them, so tell her your scared because you love her so much. Feel it, and then you dont have to be scared of feeling it.
Fantastic advice, StarBright.

Skybie - I do think it's only natural to be afraid, but I can't really speak with any kind of wisdom as I just haven't been there. I can't even imagine, hun. Sending you strength and courage for the weeks ahead.
