Good memory! I planned to visit Roberto & Cathy in August, but family drama intervened. My DD's BF of 10 years has been very ill with meningitis/more. Headaches, seizures, etc. Since May. In & out of hospital, very scary. They decided to marry quickly, so we made a very lovely wedding in 3 weeks! It is a slow recovery and they now have very little income. Great friends and family give all they can to help. These are very smart, articulate young people with social skills. Navigating the process to get help has been daunting. Rob's boss paid his full salary for 12 weeks and continues to provide health insurance. Temp disability is only $170/week and has not come through. But he will get better.
Molly is a great caregiver. I'm sorry to say their story is not unique. Social worker said this is why we have so many homeless. Not comforting but true. Advice: make surer you have a savings account! And make your young healthy
kids get heath insurance. Dotty
