I'm so sorry about Nic's and Joe's loss! But the support from family and friends is heartwarming...

Very moving Pat.

It sounds like Joe Sr provides excellent back up support. Wonder where he learnt to do that?

a bitter sweet post...losing a much wanted child during or after a pregnancy is something we never quite get over. bless you all, you are a very loving and close family. I love to read of you all.

A sad tale with a warm response from those who know that possible pain.

That is so wonderful.  I have the daughters-in-law from hell. They are fortunate to have my sons. They have terrorized or used our family to seve them to the highest degree.  I know my sons are not perfect.  Both are college graduates with high level jobs and access to people in powerful positions.  These women act like they are pimps for them. Anyway, I am so happy for you.

This post warms my heart. Yes, your family is lucky to have found her, and she is also lucky to have found you.
