Thanks, Babe. You're the best. As I said earlier in this thread, it really does help in the healing process to be able come here and talk about it with you all.

I'm sorry I didn't update you guys earlier, but I honestly just couldn't even bring myself to talk about it. I know there's an infinite amount of pain and suffering in the world and that my broken heart is one of many, but when you lose someone so close to you it's truly as if a piece of you is gone forever...

Right now we're just trying to be there for her young son whose care has passed to Amanda's younger brother and his wife. So that's priority #1 in my life right now, and I pray that I can be there for him as the years go by. He's really going to need all the love and support he can get.
