Lots of difficult firsts.

Today one of the boys answered the phone, to a caller asking for Dan. Which was incredibly awkward and strange and surprising for everyone. Not that they didn't expect things like this to come up...but that it would happen so soon, when they've been so surrounded by family and friends who intimately know the pain of the past week.

But there is still a world out there that continues and has no idea, and everyday, Carol (and the boys) will have to deal with it. And these first few weeks and months will bring lots of surprises that catch them off guard...pray for those moments. That they wouldn't totally knock the wind out of this family as they heal.
