I can see why you would think so

BTW I have really appreciated all your comment as of late. Soudns like you went through massive loss too. I;d b eintersted learning more at some point. Anyway, thanks again for your rncouragement.

So many words of encouragement here - thank you again for reading, liking and for your generosity.
