Re: OT-Hard Decisions

Again, I want to say thanks to all of you. I'm exhausted today-didn't sleep much last night. I just brought the boys back from the park and now I have to go to a goodbye dinner for one of my employees. I'd much rather stay home but you all know the obligations when you're the boss. At least I can have a beer, (or two)

Agreed w/ all of the above.  I'm looking at the box w/ Sugar's ashes and
tearing up because I know how badly that hurts, even though you did the
right thing. I hope your healing process doesn't take as long as mine seems 
to be.

Yep, it took me months to finally stop periodic crying spells when I
lost Jason. Grieving is healthy and necessary.
