Hello my friend,
Congrats on going back to school. May your road be blessed with no more than you can handle and an abundance of what you need.

I am sorry to hear your hermit self is feeling lonely.
I hope that this has come to pass?
Know that I love you and you are often in my thoughts!

Be well my friend,

When I moved to the States from England with my family, and a year later my husband had run off, I decided to stay and I went back to school, borrowing the money from my brother - I paid it back - I had never finished school in England, but went on to get a masters from Fordham U in New York. I remarried along the way, and acquired 3 more children. I kept the whole family including my husbands last wife, and my ex's new wife and new children, and we became a clan. It was not easy, and there was a lot of crying and rude words expressed by me in private, but thanks to a couple of excellent girl friends, I survived and so I tell you, what an exciting life you have ahead - believe me - sending you love and good wishes, Kate
