    Oh my gosh! Keep writing! I get a pain in my side every time I think of your ER nurse self suffering! I’ve only had several times in 30 years where my “cheese slipped off my cracker.” But that just proves that you are kinder and have the biggest heart around. I loved you like my child then, and now my soul beams thinking of you mired in mud. I knew Heartland was too good to be true! Never an episode of mud slides! Xxxxooo Tracey
