Hi Eric,

So glad you are giving us an update. I've been thinking of you and the kids. Perhaps because I have a 14 yr old boy too. Recently he told me he had been terrified for years. He never showed it. He seemed to be acting out a bit more than some other teenagers, but I didn't realize how much my cancer scared him. Didn't realize he was aware that my mother died of cancer. He was only three y.o. at the time. I'm so glad to hear you are keeping an eye on your boy & girl. But don't neglect yourself. You've been through so much and you need time & space to be able to mourn Caryn. Good to hear you are surrounded by friends. Thank you for finding the time to reconnect with us.
