Mine is a similar story expect that it includes my adult daughter and one of my adult sons. It hurts like Hell....I love them with ALL of me...but I also feel compelled to maintain the courage of my convictions. THEY chose this, not me. If I were to relax, waiver, or say things to appease them, they would remember me a coward after I am gone as opposed to remembering me being true to form (and RIGHT).
