Whew! I was worried about the run-on sentences and rambling coming off the way I wanted. Glad to see that, at least for you, it did!

I am a widow. My husband died 20 years ago and in the early years there were so many times when I was in complete overwhelm. It's not the case now, but man ... I was sure able to get back there quickly.

Nothing like this happened, though. Thank God!!

Thanks so much for your wonderful response!
