Well, my dear new friend, you have no need to feel embarrassed about your sweet faux pas! Laughter is always good - when it's with joy and kindness!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this (long!) story about my son, and for your kind comments. I'm so sorry that you and your son have had some big troubles, too, and how awful that you ended up in a psych unit - on suicide watch! (Ohhh I have such bathroom privacy issues, I'd have HATED having someone there!)

I'm so pleased that your son has turned his life around, but sorry that he has AIDS. So many great treatments now, hopefully he is living a relatively normal life!

No apologies required about the rabbit hole. I live in those! :)

Sending you love and big hugs, my friend. Wishing you a beautiful day!!
