But, hey, the flip side--you were being very unselfish when you were striving to keep everyone else from waking up & taking the burden on yourself. How easy would it be to wake up Michael & say--what can you do with her?!? Keep up the good work!!

If it is true that "it's always darkest just before the dawn" then maybe you are almost to the end of the "journey" you speak of :-) Christie,
