Hi DC,

Thank you for your kind words and the virtual hug. I don't think things have fully sunk in yet, but I must admit to having experienced a pang putting my son's book bag into the basement to store indefinitely. (I don't know whether he will ever come home to live or whether he will stay where he is until he is an adult and then goes to live in a group home. I want to keep the book bag just in case.)

Thanks again,
Lynn
