Wow, Irish, the way you handled each and every moment of this story is INCREDIBLE! How I wish wish wish my kids had a dad 1/10 as loving and thoughtful and selfless as you. The damage of losing their mom must be so incredibly painful but the rock you are providing in helping them learn to deal with that pain and in showering them with love the rest of the time will serve them well all their lives and help them be attracted to the right kind of guys (guys like you!) later on!

I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage.
Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
