Yes, this is difficult, but they will have a better future for all of their hard work! When do you anticipate your child's PIR to be? I think my son's will be 4/8, but no official word yet. We are planning to drive to Great Lakes (from Pittsburgh) for his graduation.

Thank you for excepting my friend request, it helps so much to read the post and to know that I am not crazy for feeling the feelings I am having. Tying to explain it to people who haven't gone through it is difficuilt and they are so supportive and their love is great but to be able to talk to others that know and share the same feelings is a wonderful blessing.
