Judi, Melissa, Janet...yes, of course you're all right. I don't know WHY I have this fear that, if I don't let him know how sad we all are about his choices, how much we miss him, etc., that he'll think we don't care and stop trying.
I KNOW this makes no sense because knowing all that all along hasn't motivated him to try hard to do well. I sometimes wonder if I'm as nuts as he is...
