It's always darkest before dawn. May be a cliche, but it's true.

well, on that note, it's always darkest just before you die as well.

MickG said:

Okay, but that may be the dawn of something brighter too. Who knows?

Well, I suppose you know... you could tell us if you want to.

There's nothing more I can say then Red's already said.

MickG said:

that's brilliant

Take care of yourself, Red.
