VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

*She gently whipes away the tear.* "Here now, no more of that." *She says, but her tone is gentle.* "I wn't lye and say that would have been nice. In fact, I know you should have been." *Her tone suddenaly takes on a harshness.* "Yes, you should have been. Becuse if you were there, she'd probaly not want to die. Or she'd die more peacefully. But you wern't, and that's not your fault." *Her voice is gentle again.* "Don't you think I would've like to have been there when my mom died? Donb't you think I thought my being there would have made a differance? Or that I'd at least get to say goodbye?" *She puases, closeing her eyes.* "Of course I did. And I blamed myself for a while, too. But then I learned something, Ryan. It wasn't my fault, and it wasn't my fault I wasn't there. Just like it wasn't your fault that you couldn't get to Candence's side in time. But you tried, Ryan. You got there just a few moments after she died. You tried, and that's what matters. So stop blaming yourself, stop beating yourself over the head."
