Hi Jay, Yes, the new normal has set in, but it does get better the further out you get. The first few months are the hardest. I believe it's because while in tx we are DOING something to get rid of it, but after that is done, there is this feeling of...hmmm...now what. I know that our faith is supposed to keep us going, and in the long run it does, but it is a struggle in the beginning. I will continue to pray for peace over you guys!! Thanks for your update. Wishing your family a Happy New Year too!! Kathy
