My friend, I am sorry you are facing this. I do know that you will conduct yourself with integrity, character and thoughtfulness, so, ultimately, you will be in the better place than She Who Will Not Be Named.
I have told you this before, but I'll say it again: I admire the courage of your convictions. You are a good dad and a good man -- through the coming ordeal I know you will be focused on doing what's right and what's best for your kids. God love you, Merrick.
Heard your christening is on the calendar. Fantastic! If your friends are not able to be there in person, please know they will all be there in spirit.
