Kim, I understand... but know that you have so much more to contribute than what you can do physically... you're our friend, our confidant, and our "go-to" person for fixing that teapot. It may be cracked, and we may be cracked, but we're not broken, not while there's glue to put us back together again. And you are part of that glue that holds all of us together, and I would bet that you are the glue that holds your family together as well. I think you're feeling guilty for being sick, that you're "holding" your kids back, but this is also the time for them to step up to the plate (all of them, not just one or two of them), pull together and make life worth living. Because it can be, even if we can't be physically out there, we're still HERE. God bless you and keep you, my friend, I love you. So don't stay away too long from tea.
Helen
