    Yup! We've talked about that before - very important.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      It was something I would have never thought of but it does them to rest a little easier.

      I'm always still in trouble again

        That sort of thing comes with practice, CP. Some things can't be taught, but need to be experienced.

          Especially Moms -- their work is never done, so they need to be "released" from their contract.

            When my mom died, the last couple of days she couldn't get out of bed and couldn't talk to us. The hospice nurse called us in when she thought it was time (it was during the night and we were asleep) and we all gathered around my mom, and I lay on the bed and held her hand and talked to her, telling her how much we loved her and that everything would be alright, and that it was OK for her to go be with dad now. Almost as I said it, I felt her relax and she passed away, peacefully.

                    It's amazing how many stories I know like this.

                      If (and when) you feel up to it, Bill, I'd be happy for you to share more of that here.
