Any advice or insight on dealing/coping/planning is always appreciated.

The future son-in-law has proven his mettle in two ways. First, he asked my permission to ask my daughter to marry him; Second, he did not run off when they had an unexpected pregnancy. Their son is just over two years old. Yup, Jared is a stayer and a keeper.

Last and certainly not least, thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, positive energy, and all the other good things you have send our way. This is truly a great community of folks.
