Ready for bed...

I worked today and I am in terrible pain tonight, my back is horrible and my poor feet, I need to sleep.  Thank all of you, each and every one of you for your loving and sensitive comments on my blog on this incredibly difficult anniversary.  My body is screaming for me to rest tonight and I am in my pajamas and ready to listen to it...FINALLY.

My dear friends, thank you for making this easier for me,  I am not sure I could have gotten through this day this year or the first time around. You are THE most amazing and caring and insightful people in the world and I am so lucky to have you in my life.

Love again...

Ellen
