: Jason,
: Thank you for posting. Your friendship is very important to Steve. You are a deep source of encouragement to him. He loves playing music with you, discussing the deeper mysteries with you, and sharing your warped sense of humor. ;)
: While things have been extremely tough emotionally, I'm starting to feel a peace in the spirit now. It is not complete but is gradually working its way into my thick skull. We have some very special friends, you and Nancy included (gosh, I just met her and love her already) who have gone out of their way to show us their love through all of this. We couldn't get rid of Mike, Jen, and Terry if we had leprous lesions all over our sad faces ;) Chad, Corey, and Jen even went shopping with me on the day after Thanksgiving! Believe me, that is love. Corey, Jen, and Kat are the best friends ever. They are always there to lend a sympathetic ear and words of encouragement. They all love me, even when I'm a bitch (and that can be often). We have been tried but not yet forsaken! Overall, not everyone likes us, but those who love us, love us with a love that is beyond my understanding.

I read your post above and it was so honest and cool. thanks for being strong and being open. it would be very easy to hide in a shell but you aren't.
you rock Thistle!
