i'm not afraid of much - luckily - but as i get older i start getting more anxious about things that didn't bother me before. when i was young, i was terrified of cockroaches ... and living in houston i saw them all the time! i could handle any other kind of insect - but not roaches! (which is crazy since roaches can't hurt me ... ) ... i'm OK with them now (ha - i don't LIKE them - but i don't start crying if i see one anymore). i am not afraid of the dentist - but if i have to have a cavity filled i get a little anxious that they are going to hit a nerve and i'm going to feel pain. i never used to be like this - i think that it all started when i had my first child and actually DID feel pain (haha) - now i don't want to feel significant pain again. also - i never used to think about dying - but ever since my dad died super unexpectedly at thanksgiving (and relatively young - he was 60) i have a fear that i'm going to die in my sleep

Laura... I hope no one is afraid of Yoda! (Why are you Yoda?)

You'll have to ask my friend Sara. It's a long story. Just being goofy, really.

{{hugs}} I'm so sorry, Dana. I think it's totally understandable after such a terrible, unexpected loss.

{{{Big time hugs Dana}}} Totally understandable! It's so hard losing a parent.
