Wait a couple of days and respond back w/something like this.."they are doing well". Don't give him a lot of information. If he's curious enough, he'll contact them himself or ask more questions of you.
Drop the crumbs of "kindness" and see where it goes.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
