Slowly,
Thanks for visiting my thread, etc. No easy answers over here. I think that the reconciling part of the db process, though I am envious, looks quite difficult. The day-to-day seems most difficult.

I was struck by NG's sullen(?) behavior while his family was around. though it is difficult for you when he gets this way, it does seem to be rather sobering realization that should be most welcome.

Patience? With time, I believe the two of you are on to the best days of your R.
