I am sorry you're hurting so. I wish I had some comfort for you. All I can say is that I think it's a good idea to "linger instead of 'dump and run'" at the places where you deliver red white and blue cakes. Hang out there for some of the "thank yous" and praises that are bound to come your way. Accept them as if you were an outfielder gratefully shagging a long fly ball.... you will be so happy, so thankful for their praises. I know you will be.

You have my best wishes, Smiley Rose. I'm sorry life is so rough for you, but you have my very best wishes for a future full of happiness. You deserve it.
