Debbie, We are all going to make it -- all of us.

Dave is a pillar of strength and a wellspring of inspiration and knowledge.

Yet, can you just imagine the burden he is under having such knowledge and skills ?

He has to back off at times just to remain sane.

You will remain sane also.

Your life is a whirlwind right now but once you get to CA you will stabilize.

I promise.

In the mean time, just do what is necessary each day for your animals -- they need you.

You will come through this.

It happened to me in 1988.

I know too well the quicksand feeling.

Peace Be Still.
