i_should_have_run_away james . 040222 ... a pageholder says why didn't you? 040222 ... is it french? because i'd miss my mom 040222 ... snowshoes to whomever wrote the post yesterday entitled "I should have run away": I was having breakfast this morning with my brother Kevin - I made French toast with good maple syrup and Bud's French vanilla ice cream on top - and he started to talk about your post of yesterday in which you spoke about finding your dad in the bathtub, and of your step-father, and of your drunken mother, and then he got to the part where you said "I'm sorry for having taken up so much space on Blather..." and he started weeping. He was weeping for your oh-so-hurting heart and psyche, he was weeping for you, and in surprise he said "I shouldn't be crying over this" and then wept some more. I asked him if he replied to you, and he said "No, someone more appropriate than me replied". Please know and believe that your post affected many people deeply, many people who do not know you but now care about you...... love and compassion, your friends 040222 what's it to you? who go blather from
