What a weekend...

Alex...

I responded to you on my thread...Thank you for coming over to my post

[steady]

Alex I'm right here with you. Just caught up on your sitch. I had a hard time finding you after your last thread locked.

Alex,

I just wanted to mention how much I admire the way you are there for your kids. You're a good father, my friend, a good man.

Thanks Carlos, I appreciate your kind words...

Kind of reminds me of a thread @Thinker had about how many of us have difficulties in accepting compliments gracefully, as my immediate thought was that I feel somewhat of a failure as a father, knowing that I did have a role in the demise of our M and, as such, have contributed to OUR failure to them...

But, by recognizing that feeling (to your point on your thread), if I look at it the way you and @Coach have said and remove the emotion (the sadness of having let the kids down), I do know that I have become a better father over the course of my sitch and, given the Reality of where I am today, my goal will remain to do everything in my power to be there for them emotionally even if I am not always with them physically...

N might be something like Nelson if you want to try it the other way around...
