Hey Brian :

Heard throught he grapevine that you were wondering what has happend. counry is indeed a smartarse, ( you have no idea) and that remark about gymnastics is so damn funny. He has his own issues.

But thanks for your concern and kind words. Im doing ok, i am on stress leave at work, teach one class in the afternoon and am coaching my sr boys volleyball team. We just won our regionals.

I am also the host for the provincial (state) championships which happens in just a few days , so REALLY BUSY.

My kids are doig well, youngest has his moments and obviously misses his mom. Halloween was really tough for him.

Oldest is not doing well at school at all but i still havent seen him shed a tear. He is 16.

My crazy sil and i had a blowout the other day and really upset me, she is grieveing alot and is meddling more than ever and calling me a bad father cause i am coaching and getting home a little later. So much more to say but am under the gun with the champioinships around the corner.

I hung up on Sil and Bil who was my biggest supporter doesnt like the way ive been grieving. Thinks its time to move on, etc,

i have made clear boundries with them now,.

I am not concerned as much for oldest sons marks as i am for his mental health, so if he must do an extra semester or two to finish up, so be it. I reminded my SIL that i am a teacher and that is not at all out of line these days.

Thanks again for the kind words and conern. I have an excellent support group and although i miss her dearly and will never understand this. i know i will survive this as will my boys and we will be successful. Shame about jen though, that her life endes so needlessly and so early.

BTW, piece of crap OM feels threatended by me because i had words with him at his place of work and is trying to get a restraingin order on me. I have had to appear in court twice and address him once which was most unpleasant and listen to him go on about my wife and how he assaulted her. That was real tough but, that too was survived.

Cheers
