Shell, ditto. Ditto to your "softer boil" thoughts, and ditto to most of what has been said in reply to you. Life remains a roller coaster.
Rena just told me about Mary on FB. I am so, so very sorry to hear this news. I am thinking about each and everyone of you here, because I know how much Mary impacted all of our lives. The tears flow down my face as I write this and please know I am sending the gentlest cyber hugs to all. I haven't been on here a lot lately, but you all are still my family. Love you all and miss you!
(((HUGS)))

Take all the time you need. I, myself, feel that way and I didn't really get the pleasure to know her as well as you. I, mourn the loss of getting to know her better. I feel she was so special and would have loved to know her better. She was amazing, loving and caring in the small dealings we had. I mourn what could have been.

I think it's important for you to take the time you need.

Hey Shelly belly,
You know this place is like the Hotel California - you can step out anytime you like but you can never leave. bahahaha.
I too am an infrequent visitor of late but certainly think it doesn't matter whether it's one day or one year between posts. We are still part of a caring MS community just away on sabbattcal to a return anon. I have your old profile picture burned into my memory. Be well.
Blessings

You'll be here when it's right for you., Besides, this community has a way of supporting each other when its needed most.
Shell voices the feelings that several of us have struggled with - and the CL's spent the past week or so just in shock, not knowing quite the right words to use.
Take care of yourself, Shell - you've had your plate full with baby, graduations, family needs and now Mary's death. It all takes a toll even the have stuff.
hugs, Laura
Good to hear from you
Alex
