He is extremely compassionate. Now 13 years later, my son is a teenager. If you and she are not sealed, your children won't be sealed to either of you.
One small thing to add here. I've realized that we are both pretty social people and he thrives on all the action at the hospital. But at the hospital, I'm helping the other guy who was injured when his car wrecked six hours ago, and I can't just bail.
