I can second that thought -- wonderful, helpful people -- and caring. Many
of my direct contacts were so comforting to me when I lost my son a few
months ago. -
Don't change!

I also believe that each of us has a special mission in life - some of us
are artists, mechanics, care givers and so forth. I happen to believe "we"
are the story tellers -- ones that are needed to pass on our history to the
following generations. Take care, and continue to do good. Sandy in
Calif. (No, thankfully I am not affected by the fires, but our neighbors an
hour either way are. Say prayers for them.)
