I know all of this is not easy on either of you. Dont forget to take good care of yourself and take a break sometimes even if its only a walk around the block to clear your head. You have alot going on and so much on your shoulders. We have been there and understand. Its ok to vent or to lean on us, we will do our very best to get you both thru this.

Hang in there and please stop by frequently. Best wishes!!!
