thanks bri, me too. it's really exciting. my dad says that he will bring andrew out to visit sometime this summer. you won't believe how big he is getting. he is such a good kid, i feel so bad that he is going through so much.
Coming way late to this (I forgot Journals existed) but maybe that's why your brother is totally taking to the truth now? If there's so much badness going on it's nice to know there's a creator who cares about you no matter how old you are.
