((hugs)) for you, Amy. It seems like smart advice indeed, especially at this time of year. Thank you.

thank you miss kaelie! and i do hope that someone, somewhere read it and took it to heart. as cheesy as it sounds, if it made one person reflect on their actions and how to be proactive with a friend who is hurting, that's wonderful for me. xoxo
