““But now I fear the walls may be breached, the shell cracked. Our family is cracking, fear and anxiety haunt our dreams, unanswered questions hover on our lips. How will we stay strong, stay together? I have been here before, suffered through this once already – and this is a suffering too much for one man to bear. And so my failures haunt me. I can see their eyes at night, shining in the darkness, accusing me of my greatest failure, failure to protect those that I love. What more damning accusation can there be? How can I sleep not knowing where my darlings are, that they are gone because of me, that in their hour of need I was not there? But now I must again head out into the wicked world to find another, guide them to our home, welcome them to the bosom of our family.””
