I will try to live for him. My life is forfeit. I will exist as long as I can for him. When he cried on my shoulder, that was the first time he had done anything like that. He has wept like twice in 20 years, once at each parents funeral. To see him like that was very upsetting. I am trying to deal with it. I am trying to keep from falling back into the hole I was in yesterday. It is very tough.
