Hugs for you Jeff. I hope you had a chance to read and take Franks wise words with you. The only thing I would add is that you are the father of your kids, that never changes thru a D or a funeral or while disecting the XIL family. They should always treat you with that respect but respect is earned and not just given. You can shine thru this, and the XIL family will remember.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
