Hi Sharon, We have been able to talk online a few times - which has been wonderful. Last night, while my little boy was home with me, we chatted online with his older brother, and they were just adorable together...laughing, talking...S2 showed S12 a little car he had just made out of S12's Legos - it was rejuvenating to hear them both laugh together...it's what I miss most...watching my boys interact.
And thank you for your kind words...to be honest, I tend to doubt myself as a father/role model a lot more than I might let on here...sometimes the feeling of failure that has gripped me over this last year of my life just blurs all sense of security in myself...but I just can't let that doubt consumer me - since in it, despite the worst days of sadness, I know there is an opportunity to learn something vital - something that I can carry with me into the rest of my life - and something that I can hopefully pass on to my children.
