our reaction to Richard

Johanne, Our being women and drawn to Richard Im sure is part of our feminine makeup and nurturing natures. Men have that too, and its all good. But we girls are more open about it, when in this modern world, we have the time. Also a sense of a good person caught in a sinkhole of misfortune that seems hopeless. He got personally clobbered so terribly in all areas, it seemed there was nothing left. We don't "like a tragedy" but I feel by nature are drawn to one, trying to avert it. Thats why we are with Richard today, his particular tragedy seems just so deep. Carol D.
