Thank you @gillianpearce.  There were so many who joined in our story part way, and many like you who just missed bits and pieces along the way, that this seemed the way to go.  I'm glad that I too have a journal of this past year, all the details especially.  My mind tends to remember things in generalities, so I know I'll be happy to have a record of the good and bad here forever.

Thank you for your continued love and support, from both of us <3
