Thank you so mu...To Lynne and all of her followers,<br />Thank you so much for reading He Plays a Harp. I'm grateful for the comments and the personal experiences of Laura and TexWisGirl. I think until people (Americans?) become more comfortable with death we'll be stuck in an awkward place, where parents stumble on the truth and people who ask honest questions might get an odd response.<br />Peace to all.<br />RobertaRoberta F.
