Elad, and the entire DU community. DU is my home, my sanctuary, my safe haven, and never more so than in these treacherous, dangerous times. This community has always been my lifeline, one to which I have clung ever more desperately these last few weeks of horror and insanity.
Before I start crying again, hugggggggs to you all. I LOVE YOU!!!

My thoughts are with my sisters and their health issues.
I've put off tests and scans for myself, because I'm caregiver.
Just wanted you to know, I appreciate all you contribute to DU. And, you folks who also here day in and out, Thank You
