Ken,

I like your philosophy, plan for the worst, hope for the best. I think i am going to use it as well. Sounds like you are doing the right things moving forward. I know how hard it is when my kids are with their dad, it downright hurts. He only sees them every other weekend and once in a while for dinner during the week. Good luck!!!!
