Always,

AS usual, your post was thoughtful and so beautifully put.

I'm sorry xh was a coward right up to the end of the mediation, but not at all surprised.

It is awful to see your parents cry over it, but at the same time they loved him too and they have lost a piece of their lives as well.

I hope you start a thread in surviving, or keep up in some other way. It is a joy to read your posts for their content and style both.

Hugs,
