Aw, Big Hugs to you and your beautiful wife!
I have your short story in my browser, everything has been a bit hectic here the past few days- my daughter is coming home from a six week visit to my step son's in North Carolina, on top of which my parent's driveway flooded so we've been helping them out, and actually tomorrow we have a big job of stone shoveling to do :)
I put up a post about my brother today, I was really hoping he'd be on steemit by now, so I've been trying not to post too many of his videos, but I thought it was time for another nudge since I will be seeing him tomorrow :) He would love you and vice versa, I can't wait for the eventual meeting between him and my lovely friends on here!
Wow! Sounds like you got your hands full over there. Break everything down into sizeable chunks and you should be good to go. It's only a matter of time until your brother joins this platform, I'm sure. You're a great role model to follow judging by your very successful run so far.
I echo your sentiments as to meeting up in the future. Let's hope it comes true. :)
