This thread actually made me stop and think ((LBG))

I suppose if I'm honest the conventions are about the only thing that I still miss - probably not the talks lol!! But the way you described getting ready and the excitement generated - took me back in time.............oh the anticipation!!

I suppose the reality was, we all had such a small amount of good things to look forward to (excluding the 'new system' lol) that these assembly's were one of the few high spots in our social calendar............

Of course you are gonna feel weird, as though something is 'wrong' - but as the others have said, that will lessen over time - I think you have been incredibly brave to face up to things.................

on the plus side of course you are young - and have a whole exciting life ahead (and you are also beautiful of course!!)
