{{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you , Kay. I know exactly what you mean. In different ways, this year has been awful for me too. I think we all know my knee surgery history. I am glad to see it end and I hope and pray for a better year in 2009.

Letting go of someone is not easy, Kay. It hasn't been that long. Don't get upset with yourself for not being able to let go just yet. You'll know when it's time. If you need to talk, please PM me anytime. Take care of yourself. I know how you feel.

Happy New Year to you, the Muttlies, and, your family. Things have got to get better!!
