Sorry guys for the lateness of this response, but I was in the hospital for
caregiver respite for a week and then forgot to resubscribe to the quad list
until Thursday.


I can only come up with two reasons that keep me going.
1.  Never even really thought about alternative.  Sure, I contemplated
ending it all in the early days, but since then life just seemed too good.
2.  The chance to see my niece and nephews grow up.

2.   Believing I can still make a difference with my words and deeds.
