Eric,

I have teenagers as well. They now tell me how hard it was to watch me undergo chemo. Cancer in a parent is so frightening. When I was back in the saddle so to speak they had a bit of adjusting to my authority. My eldest happily told friends who would run into him at his job, and would inquire about me, "she's doing much better! The sheriff is back in town!"

Good for you being the sheriff. It isn't always the most fun job, but teenagers need guidance and structure, especially when they are grieving and confused. I applaud your sensitivity to your son's pain, and willingness to be your children's "rock." All my best to you and yours,
