Thanks, Dave. Yeah, I am trying to keep the sad times to myself, now. I don't want to cry in front of them anymore. When they do open up to me, though, I tell them that I am still sad sometimes, too, and that it is ok to be sad or angry or whatever they are feeling. And its ok to be happy, too.

I just love them so much--so hard to let go / give up on H when I feel like I let them down...but there is nothing else I can do on that front. So, we just try to have a good time when we are together. Putting up the decorations may be a bit hard this year...
