Thanks for the comments everyone ... really appreciated. Re what he said, Phoenix ... he said nothing. I asked him if he had anything to say, and he said he was thinking. He had more to say when we spoke on the phone, i.e. he was depressed because of his job, feeling like a failure, not feeling like he was of any use to the children anymore (now that they are growing up, leaving home, etc.). What can one say to that, except respond with the email I sent him? I don't know if he's read it yet. He'll probably get to his home emails tonight after work.
