Yesterday

by so many caring responses.

I tend to think that when I post to a special 'subscribed forum' - including Cancer Support - I'm just whispering into an empty little corner, where nobody can really hear me. And most of my posts on GD sink like stones!

So it's a joyful revelation to read your caring, thoughtful, kind notes in response to my post.

(Please don't think I'll expect that every time I check in here!)

Love,

Sparkly (aka Sparkly Fairy Princess)
