Hope, that is wonderful, I am glad that you two are working through all of this. Such a nice feeling, and great optimism. That friend was lucky to have you to listen too him, even without saying anything, you can help him by listening. Amazing how people come into your lives when you need them. Having H hear that from the other side might give him a bit more understanding also.
More snow! Lots more work for you guys! Have a great day today, Hope! Take care!
