Dear Jan, (((((((((Jan)))))))))))) I'm sorry you're feeling so down. I have to say I am a tad confused by your story, I mean I don't understand what the occasion is that you have to be around everyone. But your sentiments are perfectly understood. Some "friends" just come and go, and its hard to be around people that just don't understand. But at the end of the day, just let them walk around in their closed off little lives. You are the enlightened one and because of that you will get so much more pleasure out of life. They won't be able to see any of the beauty outside the walls of their little boxes. Don't mean to get philisophical but can't think of any other way to say what I mean. I guess maybe that we just appreciate things so much more and see perfection where others wouldn't. Try not to let them hurt you, let them make you stronger. Take care Tamara _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Building ___ooOOoo__ Rainbows www.trisomyonline.org Families Helping Families On-line
