[QUOTE="DDD, post: 297920, member: 35"] I don't think in nine years on the Board that I have ever read a post that was more genuinely filled with honesty and love. You, husband and easy child shared your hearts with difficult child. I am in awe of you all. Your difficult child, however, was not able to grasp the meeting concept. Truly I feel badly for him. Some difficult child's just [I]can't "get it". [/I]It may be months or years before he can absorb the philosophy of family that you share. It can't be forcefeed. Personally I would not try to use the transportation time to reiterate the intentions, feelings or concepts. My gut instinct would be to simply chit chat unless he addresses a specific issue. The recurring theme would be "we all love you and wish you well". The sadness is justified. Most difficult child's leave sadness in their wake. on the other hand, look to the future as a source of joy and happiness for the three of you and remember that there is a chance, albeit slight, that difficult child will join you happily in the future. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
