[blparent] Talk about a scare!

[Veronica Smith]

I told Gab if they have another sub, mayke sure that she knows you are
indeed there.  When I heard that message, I thought about us dropping her
off in my mind and knew for a fact that the duty was there.  It was very
scarey to me and I still am shaken up over it.  I cried several times
yesterday when I'd think of it.  V

Those few seconds can be the longest in your whole life.  Glad everything's 
okay.
