It might help make people feel better to know that yesterday I got a very kind note from someone. I won't say her name because I don't know if she'd want me to. This was not just anyone, but a person with whom I have had past disagreements. She was very sweet and I was greatly uplifted by the gentleness she expressed. Hope is something which is always there; sometimes a person forgets that, but then a surprise arrives... Let's not lose sight of the fact that this is a forum comprised of people who love ferrets, that no matter what happens we have that in common, and folks here help others every day of the week. In such kind actions we create our own hopes. [Posted in FML issue 3332]
