Thanks @Oaktree 

I hope to keep in touch more - I had a rough year - I badly burned my arm, dental surgery, storm damage, a dead possum in my wall - other stuff - and my daughter's health problems and her behaviour - which is understandable - affected me a great deal. It seems to be sorting out now.

Shaz is a wonderful person - one of the best - and she never forgets birthdays - in spite of all her issues with her husband she keeps on keeping on - her patience seems endless though I am sure it has to be tough yards

I hope to keep in touch - perhaps I just had too much on my mind and I am not good about sharing - when I see something from another bereaved parent though I do have to say something because I have been through all of that and I know how hard and heart-breaking it is. I have recovered from my son's troubled life and tragic death - I still have my moments but it's okay now.

Thanks for your post - I appreciate it
