Musicmaker...this is one powerful post. You and I are
two different people that have led two separate lives,
but what you have written below contains so much
truth about my life.
I'm never alone either these days for the exact same
reason you stated. Isn't it wonderful that God is that
huge and caring and so full of love !!
