Thank you for your prayers, Albion. You’re so right that this affects everyone in the family, however tangentially. We are all mourning for broken dreams and lost relationships, such as will my grandchildren still get to see Uncle Adam whom they adore? How do we handle Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations? It’s just incredibly sad for everyone.
You are wise to thing these things through ahead so you can put on a postive face for the kids, or at least neutral. God bless you.
