u-turn, I did not specifically address your words of encouragement from your previous post. All the more poignant when coming from someone in a similar sitch. Thanks.
Fogg and Joe, your posts appeared in the time I was writing my last post:
Fogg, Volcano made me cry too. I am going to be that great dad that they know I am. Thanks.
Joe, I now appreciate that I have to put the focus on my kids and work. I need to let go the anger. Howdja do it?
On another note, I don't believe in accidents. I am always seeing signs from the almighty. I did a huge double take when you wrote "this too shall pass". Unbeknownst to you, my wise-beyond-his-years S13 told me that last night. He also coupled it with a famous fable about the Wise King Solomon who asked his most trusted minister to find a special ring with special powers: "If a happy man looks at it, he becomes sad, and if a sad man looks at it, he becomes happy." His minister found an elderly merchant who engraved "This too shall pass" on the ring. The lesson being: be in the moment because everything passes. I agree. This too shall pass.
