      From CherKeg August 21

      Hi Margo! It was so good to hear from you! I've missed you!! I'm so sorry that you've been having such a hard time. Please hang in there! I know it seems like things will never be normal again....but it does get easier. Things will obviously never be the way they were, but you do find a new normal. Some people seem to "recover" pretty quickly and seemed to have moved on, and for others it takes a lot longer. I think that I cried every day for the first year and felt lost & devasted. Life seemed pretty impossible. However, things did get easier. I know you don't believe me now....but just take one step at a time, one day at a time. You will get through this!!!! Lots of hugs to you....love, Cheryl p.s. please keep me updated on how you're doing
