I have tears in my eyes reading this, Janice. Bravo on you and Jack for keeping on, putting one foot in front of the other.

One foot in front of the other - the only way to walk this path.

"Yep."

Ah, Jack. I do love that man!

I am so glad that you had each other to hold onto, my dear.

A man of few words, for sure. In a weird way, it was nice to see his tears again. He hides his grief from everyone, including me and that makes me feel very alone. It was nice to not feel so alone for a change.

I can totally relate to this right now. Seeing the tears is definitely a welcome sight, in a strange sort of way.
