Kathy, I'm so sorry that you're going through this, but I think you've got
the right attitude. Remain detached (except for prayer), and let Chris get
what he gets, either because of what he's done or because of the type of
people he chooses to associate with.
Hugs and prayers,
Peggy

Subject: awakened in the night by a phone call
> Hi Guys,
