New distractions are keeping me from even thinking straight, let alone being able to update here. Maybe I’ll take a break, maybe I’ll be back tomorrow. Either way I’m humbled and so very grateful for the shocking amount of support shown to us through this site, via comments and private email. I think it helps. At the very least it opens my eyes to the idea that such pain is not unheard of, nor is it uncommon, and that the kindness of strangers sharing their lives is more comforting than one would expect.

What counts right now is that Stu and I are taking each day at a time, and we’re doing it together.
