Hi Rachel! Been wondering how you were doing.
Been sitting here trying to think of an analogy for what we go through, its kind of like a polititian running for office. His (or her) life is now out in the open and they get to live with all the opinions and criticisms that go with it. It takes a strong person to let it roll off.
With the Graves’, we are forced to tell people what is going on with us and then leave ourselves open for everyones opinions, etc. It’s just the nature of being human and they aren’t necessarily bad or cruel.
I’m sure most of us here when asked about a public figure would give their opinion, criticise or whatever. We are now more of a public figure, a target of what people think.
Enough philosophical ranting for now! I get in these moods you know 
Love to all, Bruce
