OJ - like everyone I want to send you love and support, but I admire so much what Steve has tried to do: to control things: to be the master of his destiny, and I wish I thought I would ever have the courage even to try. He must be an amazing man, and so are you, for walking this path with him. You are truly being seared in the furnace of love at its hardest, most brutish, and most painful, but it is Love that keeps you there, and it is Love that will be there at the end. In an odd way that is what all MNers want to say: that we are all standing silently behind you, waiting to help, wanting to shoulder some of your grief, trying to be there whenever you call - and that is also Love. {{{hug}}}
