I think Damon is the stronger of the two. I think he's stoic. Like other grieving parents who freepmailed me, it's not uncommon to be unemotional in public. I don't want to post excerpts from their emails though. SUffice it to say that everyone grieves differently, just like they love differently. We can't judge a relationship or issue based on how he looks.

I hear what you're saying and I would tend to agree with you. Lord knows I've seen a lot of grieving and dysfunctional parents in my career, but there is just something here that bothers me on a gut level. I can't put my finger on it.
