A good way of putting it
The author (double mas) ran into her surgeon some time after TX at a soccer game. They embraced warmly, triumphantly. When asked, who was that? She said, "A doctor who is wonderful!" Then the author paused to think. Would she choose a life in which circumstance would not have led her to meet this wonderful man? Yes! Would she have been happier in that life? No.
I think that is a good handle on it. I would chose in a second not to have been through DX and TX. But I must admit, with all I have learned and now treasure about life, I would not have necessarily been happier.
Just thought you all might like this too.
Love to all of you, Joyce

WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Janny - Your feelings after watching the show - I have been there. A comment, an article, something can set me off. Please don't be depressed for long! You know, I think that the first job C does is make us more sensitive. Then it makes us tougher. But then sensitive again...yikes, what a roller coaster. But here's a hand to squeeze. Lets scream together....Wheee!
Thanks for the New Year Wish. I hope good things for you too. Love, Joyce0 -
