Hi Colleen on my good days(which are many) I do exactly what you. Suggested. On my dark days I cannot help but fret over how my granddaughter will navigate her teenage years without me as she lives with me. (She has just turned 13) until you have been told this type of news no one can imagine what it is like especially in the wee dark nights when your thought go into overdrive.
