*HUGS* I am in the same boat. But you can't go through life doing everything in your power not to hurt someone.

That was beautifully put. May I have your permission to quote you on facebook??

(and i'm sure there's something in a shade of grey or something in between and i can always change my name if that's what you mean...)
