Noel,

I am truly heartbroken and sad for your situation. I honestly don't have the words to even begin to express what I can or even should, as I really don't know how I would handle that situation if it happened to me. Truth is, I can't.

It is comforting and amazing to me that you felt you can come here among many who know and respect you, and discuss an obviously personal and hurtful experience. That goes a long way in showing the kind of character you have. I am sure that doesn't help that much right now, that character is what will help you feel better again. Those kids need a good father and role model, now more than ever, continue to be that for them.

As someone who considers you a good friend, who I have met and enjoyed the company of, I offer a standing ear to you anytime if you ever need to talk. I can be a good listener. You have my number. Hang in there Noel, there is light on the horizon for you, I promise.
