Dear Eric,

Thanks for checking in with the board Eric. It's good to hear from you. I certainly understand your absence. That ache for the one you lose never goes away, but rather is suppressed by keeping busy. It's great that you are keeping such a close eye on your kids, but make sure you keep an eye on your own spirit as well. I sure enjoyed all of your posts when we were both up to our eyeballs in the struggle at the same time. As with all of the members here, I didn't feel quite so alone in the battle when we were all "huddled together" and brainstorming for answers. Please take care.

Sincerely,
Tom
