So many people would benifit from this. I know I am far too often Ms. Fix-it trying to make everything better when people really just need a listening ear or the hard-to-say truth that it may not be fixable or "all better." You are a wise woman. :) E Thanks for this wonderful post, Shelby. So many people would benifit from this.
