Deb, reading this story made me cry. You have a wonderful, strong supportive family. I'm glad that I got to meet your mom at N4. Su is especially strong, and you can tell her your friends agree with you.

She is not completely alone, since I know that you will stay in close contact and be there with her if you ever need to. And it should be comforting to her that you and Mike will be giving Mischa a great home.
