I've received a number of them on both sites and it means a lot to me that the members really do care about my fate. In short, I'm OK. Like many parents who lose a child (more than 50%) our marriage will not survive. Jake's passing became a lightning rod of our differences. Fortunately my wife and I ultimately worked this out fairly civilly and we'll be going our separate ways in one week, when we sell the house to our neighbor (who's been wanting it ever since he moved to the neighborhood years ago).
There are so many details that I really can't get into now and please accept my humble apologies to my very close friends on this forum who I have not called. You must understand that between my mom, my three sisters, the 4 guys I consider brothers and a handful of others, my lawyer, and other parties, I'm on the phone constantly. I'm lucky like that with many great friends and family. Consider this: I only recently contacted my med school roommate and a family practitioner, both of whom have been trying to reach me for months. There are hundreds of others I'm not ready to speak to yet.
cos fz1 gave me a great link and I just put a deposit on a doberman puppy. He's beautiful! I love him already. Me and him will move to my mom's in Florida in the next two weeks accompanied by one of my "brothers," a teacher in the Bronx, and his daughter. I just returned from an epic 4000 mile journey with another of my "brothers" to deliver my daughter and all her furniture to grad school at LSU and then over to Port St. Lucie to drop off most of my stuff.
So that's where I am for now. I'm rebuilding my world. And I thank each and every one of you for your care and comments.
