Hi Dawn, thanks...
Frankly, I've never seen him grieve as deeply/openly over anything as he is over this. I don't doubt at all that he is really struggling.

I think I will see if S can't go visit D. We may just stay home, but I kinda think even just a little change of scenery might do H a world of good, even over night. If he's still so down, I'll just do the steaks and beer and we'll sit around and talk. He seems to enjoy that as much as anything, actually. It was kind of unfortunate that all the kids came flocking home about the time the flood gates opened.


been around awhile!
