We SOO wish you and the kids could have been here with us or us there with you. I find myself driving by your old house whenever in Brookhaven. I wish you were closer so I could bring you a latte, watch the kids & play, just be there to give you a hug and a break. <BR/><BR/><BR/>My heart is heavy for you & your family having to go through this and you are always in my thoughts. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for updating us...I am sure the waiting is difficult.
