Sometimes distance is painful and this is one of those times. I so regret not getting to meet and spend time with Will. Debi, I wish I could be there to help you through this terrible time. I hope you realize what a wonderful mother you are. 18 years is not enough; but I know he was well loved for those years. Peace, in time, be with you.
