Glad you had a nice 4th with your son. Your daughter sounds like my youngest. God forbid they should miss anything with their friends...sheesh!
That was sad to hear about another friend leaving their family. This week alone I heard of 2 more families going through this. I don't understand. Maybe it's just the fact that it was always this bad but it isn't until everyone around us has reached middle age that we see first hand how rampant this is. Wonder how all of this will affect our kids and their marriages........
