OT/Freeus
Dear Freeus, although the post was not meant for me, I hope you don't mind comments from a lurker who is familiar with your posts here and on Voltaire's thread. My heart goes out to you that your financial investments did not turn out as you expected in 2000. But as bad as your experience seems, there are worse life tragedies out there.
I spent all of 2000 watching someone very close to me fade away little by little each day. All I could do is hold her hand, say encouraging words, and try to make her laugh. Little by little, she lost her dignity, her beauty, and her hope. In the end, her debilitating disease got the best of her. The third week of January 2001, ... she passed away.
Her chance at life here on earth is over. But you are a young woman with your health, career, friends, loved ones, and as I recall <g>, as passion about politics. She loved life, and I think she would trade places with you if given the chance. And she would consider you very lucky to have much of your life ahead of you. With a sound plan and adherence to that plan, over time, you can make it back. And luckily, time is on your side. Good luck to you and happy birthday. May you celebrate many more and may your dreams come true.
