Great story, **carlotta**.

Thank you for being concerned enough to seek advice, and then in following through on what was terrific advice to follow your gut instinct. Kudos to **GrumpyBunny** for the suggestion.

Every now and then, after wading through what seems like a constant current of the sliminess of humanity, we find ourselves in a quiet, peaceful pool where the goodness of humanity laps gently at our ankles. Thank you for that.
