It feels a bit like I'm being *picked on* here!

Phred, this comment has bothered me all night and I just have to put my 2 cents worth in here.

Speaking strictly for myself, I'm sorry if what I posted is making you feel this way. It certainly wasn't my intention. You have done so much for other people and that little care package is our humble way of trying to give back. We can't be there to help you in other ways so really this our only option. Think of it as us sending you little parts of ourselves. Let's see, you've got a little piece of my hair, part of Staci's nose, part of Zippy's ear...... well, you know what I mean. Please accept the gift along with all the love that comes with it.

Now, about the hike....1.13 miles is great....don't think I could make it that far. It will take some time for you to get back to where you were. Have patience my dear boy. We are with you every "step" of the way.
