I’ll be keeping Persephone and her family (I don’t know how whatever is going on affects them, but I’ll include them on general principle) in my thoughts for sure. {{{Persephone and fam}}} ---

Ugh, the problem with meeting someone and knowing something of them is that it adds a depth to one’s worst imaginings. I hope whatever it is gets better soon. Please keep us posted. I am, at this moment, worried about her, her kids, her husband, her house, her job… ---

I’m with Cranky. Makes it scarier when you’ve met them in person. {{{Cristi}}} I’m only an email away, hon. I’ll be lighting a candle for you tonight. ---

Friends … I’m touched by the depth of compassion that’s been shown here. Just to allay some fears, the problem is nothing life-threatening for either her or any member of her family. And I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if I give you all this from her by proxy. {{{{{Everyone}}}}} ---

The goddess of spring is having problems in April? ☹ What, too much work to do? 🙂 May the warmth of the sun, the strength of the earth, the promise of newly-bloomed flowers and the support of family and friends help you and be with you now. ---

Words cannot express how moved I am right now. No, it is not life threatening. Life altering perhaps, but not life threatening. And no, it isn’t good. But I will get through it, somehow. And knowing that you are here, and care enough for me to wish me well without even knowing what the problem is, means more to me than I can say. I’m not leaving the boards. I only have a few sources of comfort, and this is one of them. And I will be my usual charming and witty self, but I don’t think I’ll be giving anyone any actual advice on anything. :eek: ((((((Everyone))))) Thank you. I love you all dearly. –_Cristi_ ---

Well, at least we can take comfort in the fact that she was able to come on line and say something. 🙂 It is the fear of the unknown that fills us most with dread, like a sudden hand on the shoulder or a spider on your bed. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Cristi}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} ---
