I cannot believe Erik’s service is already tomorrow.

I want to thank everyone for their ongoing support.  We certainly have many things to feel blessed over.

I promised the kids I would communicate a wish of theirs and have one of my own.

Remember, Will, Evie, and Nora are just kids and nothing about this experience has changed that.  Their request: “I hope a bunch of people don’t try to touch me”.  In a more polite phrase they would really like if their personal space was respected- you certainly can always ask permission to hug them.  Fist bumps are always welcome.

My favor, I am working very hard to protect the innocence they have left. Please do not ask them to take care of their mom, help out more, be a grown up in the house.  Their only jobs are to be kids and take care of them selves.  This is unfortunately a concept they are struggling with.  Thank you!!
