How cruel of them to do that to you. No wonder you are a mess now with Alice gone.

And I know exactly how you feel. You can't simply stop worrying, that's impossible. He's your baby for crying out loud. Would they tell a parent who had lost a child to stop worrying ? I think not!

The only comfort I can offer you is, you are not alone in this. I feel for you so much, he might as well be my snake. I spent an hour last night making each one of mine promise me they would never do something like this, I couldn't handle it. And by the way, Yakul my hyper sensitive pied boy, told me to tell you he's sorry and he hopes Alice comes home soon. I upset him so badly telling him your story, he didn't want to eat last night.

So, together we will wait, together we will hope, together we will cry a little now and then, and together we will celebrate like we won the world series when he comes home.

Please don't upset your Pied!
I hope he eats tonight....

That's just a tiny glimpse of my folks.

There's more and it's much worse.

But I have to love them...they're my family.

[at least I learned to practice the loyalty they preached]

Thanks Gale.

You're my rock in this storm.

[and tell Yakul to eat!!!]
