Joyce,you also asked if I had any idea if fishing,the out doors etal,helped in any way.I must be truthfull and tell you ,no.I said to my self sod everything in my lousy life,Im going to die. I am still here,and with the help of amiodorone,I fished a whole season very hard as pennance for not thinking of my friends of the woods ,the lake,and the old grey heron that used to stand watching me ,as I tied on a mymph,shaking his head,,no.But most of all I remebered Sept,the month of my entrance,screaming into this lovely world. But look what they went and did,all those tears shed for so many people is compared to my lake frozen over in winter.However that will thaw. GOD BLESS AMERICA from all of Ireland,and little old me(63).
