Hi Emily,
What I did was, I printed him up the story of "Carey" and I wrote a note on
it. I can relate with her story not all of it but some parts. He will see it
when he gets home tonight. I was going to drive to my parents house, it is a
hour away, but it is rainy out and I get nervous driving in that weather
with our child. I want to thank you and everyone else for all their support,
hopefully my husband will do the same soon. angie
