That must have been hard, Laurie. We handle things like that with humor in my family, too..and it's usually fine until I'm alone. Like when mom and i couldn't find grandma's grave one day we went to "visit" her and we joked, "isn't that just like her..hiding from us" But later I realized how much I missed her, that four foot nothing fiesty lady with the French accent that drove me crazy and I loved more than anything. Sigh... A candle is lit for you, sister.
