Something similar happened to a young woman my brother went to school with. She was a tiny little thing but a great ballet dancer. She went to San Francisco and was dancing with a major company there. On her way home one evening she was mugged. Her ankle was broken and she never danced again. Sad when dreams die.

Debs,
So very sorry to hear about your Mom. My heart goes out to you. My Mom just died on Dec 30, 2008. Here's a big virtual hug for you my friend.

The desolation and terror of, for the first time, realizing that the
mother can lose you, or you her, and your own abysmal loneliness and
helplessness without her. ~Francis Thompson
