I'm trying real hard to be the Shepard.

Hi Mtnman,

I'm sorry your sick. It makes everything more difficult doesn't it?

It sounds like you and W have done a wonderful job raising your sons and that you are a very loving family. That's what makes it hurt so bad.

It sounds like the desire to reunite the family is a big draw for your W. I think that is good and it's b/c you haven't fallen apart despite this big upheaval in your life.

I think your choice to not give the card for the anniversary was a good one. It sounds like you're managing despite your frustrations and anger with the sitch.

Take good care of yourself so you'll be back up to speed soon
