I'm glad to hear your taking this so well. Is your wife taking it well also? My mom has the worst time when I return to school. I keep telling her she needs to get a job to keep herself busy to help her but she doesn't want to. My dad is normally in a bad mood so he is hard to read at times. I know my dad has always wanted to move where I'm currently at but hasn't due to work and for my mom (he must really love her a lot to stay in that stupid town near her nutty relatives...okay rant off).

You sound like you've done a great job as a father. Congrats to you, Jeremiah.
