Thank you Roo....your post came in just the knick of time. I've been really questioning what I've done.... that really does make me feel a lot better about my decision...., now... if I can just say something to help you!!!! It's so difficult, that I know.... his family becomes yours and vice versa.... all the more difficult. Nothing in this world compares to the pain of a broken heart!!!! I just wish I had the right words for you.... Hang in there, and thanks again.
