I remember sleeping in the basement for a year and crawling upstairs
for food my mother would leave in the kitchen.  I couldn't wait for
evening when everything was dark, and everyone else was sleeping.  I
hated the activity of the outside world.  I remember going to the mall
for the first time after my son died, to get a picture of him engraved
on a necklace.  I felt like I was getting out of a coma, and couldn't
understand how the people around me could look so happy and the world
seemed so normal.



I remember standing in front of a Salvation Army Christmas tree in a mall 
and weeping like a baby, Quite a sight I bet.
I remember running away from a Girl Scout selling cookies because my Patti

always sold tons of G.S. cookies.
After 12 years I still can't look at Big Red chewing gum without being 
overwhelmed.
