We are occupied, too, - that's exactly what helped me to keep my sanity amid all the worry of what my son was going through - just keeping busy and doing the things that needed to be done. And I don't know how we would have survived without the care and concern and practical information we received from everyone here on OCF. But we made it! Both of us - and the experience has, as Eric puts it, "widened our hearts". We found a new appreciation for the important things in life and the people that are dear to us.
