Here I am, feeling so down about not having much of life outside work and caring for my mom, and then I begin reading the posts here on this forum and realize just how fortunate I really am and how things could be so much worse. Yes, they can also be better, I know, but reading all of your questions and stories just made me want to reach out and give a huge group hug to each and every one of you.
I still think your situation is worse than mine. But, I wanted to thank you for the huge group hug. I will send one personal one to you. =)
