When her mom told her several times "Don't cry", she turned and said "But Mommy, don't you know it's the tears that wash away the pain?" Go ahead, feel the pain in your gut and cry the tears. That's part of the healing process; it works, I've tried it. Anita was wise beyond her years, and she is right about your strength. And God doesn't give you more than He thinks you can handle.

Rey and I always send hugs and prayers to you and the kids. Please--come see us in Chicago next summer!
