I was ashamed for a little bit after dx, until I Learned—well a lot—about the complexity of our Common Scourge. Society at large would like to make shame appropriate for many “classes” of people. We are one. We don’t actually have to agree…
That is up to us…Blessings…And No shame at all. Ever. Just try to live as long as we can because our beloveds want us to----that’s sort of all that really matters, isn’t it?..
