Phil, it's OK to cry. Don't worry about holding back the tears. Let them out. Trying to suppress them makes it worse.

I've been wondering about you and I'm glad to see you back.

Be Well.

PS: Late night wiring? I can identify. After my dad's death, Dave got up at 3 AM to find me rewiring a bothroom fan that hadn't worked correctly since we moved in. Other times it would be plumbing related.
