Phil,
I'm sure that you will understand when I say this, but your posts
just make me want to cry!  I'm discouraged by them.  I keep thinking
things like, a few months on his own and Chris will come to his
senses, but your story reminds me that that often isn't the
case.  I'm so sorry that you guys are still going through this.  I'll
be praying for you all day, especially this evening around 12:00 am.
my time.  I'll probably be up then anyway.  I hope that I figured out
the time differential right.
Kathy
