I wouldn't feel so bad...

Anyone who can say they've never tried to convey what they feel is a hard truth is either a liar or hasn't lived long enough. Whatever you've said, it's what you feel. I think all here understand when something is said from malice or concerned love (whether that concern is misplaced or not). Whether your words are the truth or merely what you see is the truth matters little. I think your concern is the more important aspect and I think that should shine through. I'm sure your concerns are noted, whatever the opinions of the readers.

It's good to know that there are those who speak from the heart, even if they fear that their words might cause harm that they don't wish to cause. That takes a certain kind of bravery.

Sorry that I missed you in chat. It's been a busy day and I forgot that I was in chat. Hope to chat with you sometime soon.
