It hurts, I know...look back through not only some of your own work, but the postings you've made to the countless of us here. You really have a wonderful light and wisdom about these things. Sometimes it is hard to see that within ourselves, but you can see it in the way you help other people...
on the lighter side, when you mentioned "harden his heart," I had the very inappropriate vision of a Mentos candy--hard on the outside, chewy on the inside! So, he may still be an ol' softy, hiding it away ;0)
