I was wondering the same thing last night after a great time with my kids - will I ever be able to just be happy and enjoy without feeling the empty hole whee H should be?
I tell myself that if H is missing out it is his loss. And it's true, but it's also my loss and more importantly, my kids' loss. And that just plain $ucks.
I love how you make the best of it, though.
