[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar I, post: 47274, member: 3755"] Well, sometimes it can't be about the results, RM. Remember that old movie everyone always shows at Christmas? It's a Wonderful Life. And the main character is shown what life would have been like for those whose lives he had touched, had he not done as he did. The thing is though, that in the day to day world that existed because of the main character's influence, it seemed that he had failed. That is our situation, now. Everything we have done, the hours and the months and the years that added up before we knew it ~ none of that helped a thing. Maybe it did though, RM. We have to hold faith that, whatever we decide to do now, our efforts, our time and loving attention to every smallest detail ~ none of that was wasted. And you are not a downer, RM. As I recover from what happened to all of us, I am amazed to realize just how traumatic these experiences have been for me personally, and for husband, personally. Let alone how it affected our marriage, our extended families, our social lives. You did the best you knew to do with integrity, RM. You did succeed. The outcome was not what you hoped for, what you worked for ~ but you did succeed. Barbara [/QUOTE]
