I think she is thankful but she is also very much struggling to keep intact...to keep her being from falling apart. Life was ripped away from her and she is alone.

I think without both of those events, she wouldn't have acted so rashly. <br /><br />I, too, am curious to see what else comes up about the missing painting...Carrie K.http://booksandmovies.colvilleblogger.comnoreply@blogger.com
