Gi - thankyou... thinking of you today.... and raising a guide dog to be, sounds awesome.... it will be hard, but very rewarding and might just do the trick. FX for landlords permission... I for one would never suspect that you were seeking sympathy..... that is not how you carry and honour the memory of your DD at all. Not in the slightest.. you carry her memory with grace and dignity and a deep abiding love. We all need some gentle understanding and tender care, but that is a long way from seeking sympathy. But when everything is so topsy turvey, it's so easy to doubt ourselves.... this I know. Don't be so hard on yourself.... though this too I know is so easy to do. Hugs my dear.

Melzi - I am sorry in my rush yesterday that I didn't welcome you.... I have posted on Zach's thread and got confused.

Skybie - thankyou for posting Jack;s link - I will read it and I will be humbled by it and amazed. I am looking forward to it.

Anyway, I am in a position where I have to dash again. So sorry, it's not meant to be disrespectful to you.
