Pam: reading your entry means lot to me, you are true fighter in all sense, its amazing how nicely you are holding and getting your life back together. I guess I have still so much to learn from you, I just can't think of me being on my own and handle eerything by myself, I am not sure if I will be able to rise to occasion but keep up the good work, and exercise. I try to be happy with my body but I think I need to loose weight from the wrong places such that weight at right places will look good Asha
