I'm sorry to hear about all the bad things that have happened to you in such a short time.
I just finished reading "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini and then after reading your post it got me to thinking about how sheltered a life I've lived and how lucky I've been...that's why I love reading and meeting new people...its gives you a new outlook on life, a new perspective...and no matter what you can almost always find someone out there whose life is worse off (okay that sounds a bit synical but I mean well...I think...)
Anyway before I go on rambling too much more let me say Welcome to the forum! and ask if you've tried Swedish Butter Cookies or Snickerdoodles?
