Irish,

I've been extra busy for a few days, so out of touch. Catching up on your post. ILMN and Brooklyn are pretty smart cookies. You say you needed validation; there it is.

This being our ( H & I) favorite time of year, so many activities with the kids, etc. I feel extremely blessed to be able to continue doing so. I too am grateful for the wonderful years we had. He is missing out now, by his own decisions, not mine.

As hard as it is, try to not take it personally. Go on with your head held high and eyes to the front. You have come a far way from where you started. Keep up the good work, Irish.
