Tami, Thinking of you and sending hugs your way. It was so nice to see your dad this past summer while Kevin and I were in Bradford. I know he and your mom are back together now and neither is in pain. Somehow we have to go on without them but they are never truly gone. We carry them in our hearts forever.
