The yard may be a mess, but hopefully after this is over you can hire someone to work on it for you. If blackberries have been taking over, then look on the bright side - those are going to be ripe soon.

I see a bright future for Woog and his kids. Cant say the same for your W after the passion wears off between her and Nick. Somewhere in the future she is going to have huge regrets of what she did to her family. None of that should be your concern now.
