I just stopped by for a minute, trying to get my mind onto other things for at least a while.
But after reading the comments I've received I had to take the time to tell you what wonderful people you all are! Some of you I've only read some posts and maybe responded a couple times. and some of you I get into long discussions, or word games, with many posts. Some of you have even been kind enough to leave a comment on my logon designs. But regardless of the degree of involvement our interactions may have had, you have touched my heart with your caring and understanding.
I have no other family than my mother. No siblings or close uncles, or cousins. It was just her and I, most of my life. She'd say "It's you and me against the world!" and it was. I always talked to her about eveything. She lived here with me, and sometimes I'd sit in her bedroom and tell her about what I was doing online at the time. That included these boards!
Who will I tell all about it now? 
Thank you so very much, each and every one of you,
Linda
