The years flew by. We were very involved parents of 2 busy, growing brutes. Family came to visit us. We had the sunshine and the geography and we would pack as many people as we possibly could into our home at any given time of the year. We loved it. D was very close to his family and I to mine.
The boys had many scholastic projects that they were a part of. We were active in the PTSA. We had baseball, basketball, soccer, and football practices and games to watch. We had a blast as parents. We took road trips, went camping, played softball together, had birthday parties and visited many friends and family during these years. Yes, we had a great life together and we adored one another. We would constantly express our gratitude.
Several letters regarding D's support obligations came in these years and D would always check in with DES and they would always say that there was no issue on their end. He continued to pay what they required. We knew this dark cloud was not going anywhere and that we would have to face it one day.
Make no mistake, as much fun and happiness as we experienced, none of it could compare to the deep pain that D felt during all of these years because his children would NEVER be able to be a part of any of it. What a immeasurable loss for all of them. I witnessed his deep pain when he would allow it to be expressed. I saw him crying and hurting so many times over the years. This was not a pain nor a loss that would lessen.
I could only support him...I could never empathize with his suffering. To lose my children...what could that ever feel like? I cannot even begin to imagine the depths of the despair. He lived it DAILY!
