You’re welcome. It’s so hard to know what to say when you read a post that is so clearly someone’s blood, sweat and tears.

What do you say when one is struggling, suffering. How does one express, not sympathy, but a sense of community, caring?

By telling them you’re on their side.

I appreciate your comments. I look forward to visiting you 🙂
