Dear Jabeh:

You are welcome. My daughter and my nieces grew up watching Nemo among other movies that had so many memorable quotes that we use them in RL circumstances often. Good timing is always great for a laugh! Your sister sounds like an amazing person. Why do we always seem to lose the good ones so early? It does help loved ones to discuss death.

I follow a "death positive" group founded by Catiln Doughty, a young gal who runs a not-for profit mortuary in LA. She wants people to be knowledgable about  options around all aspects of death, to be smart consumers and to have better closure during our losses. She has been on YouTube for years and has two books published. I like her attitude.

Wow you Do have some MAJOR changes happening all at once! Stress seems to be the tip of the proverbial iceberg, however, as you said, there are positive things in all that. I too, have a daughter graduating highschool and going to college this year. Last year she was in two weddings, one in Athens. Greece and one here. Exciting but tense!

My friend died in upstate NY. Wisest woman I have ever known, a great mentor. I miss her terribly. No closure with her passing that way. Very hard. Over thirty years, we met working in the Legislature. She supported me through one divorce and untold family problems, I was there for her being widowed and then remarried, three grown kids stuff, and you know life as it happens.

I know that we use the game for distraction and the board for positive support, however RL interjects itself regularly and I have learned so much in tid bits of information about the burdens that so many of us experiance here. It is an amazing group of people and the support means the world to me. We have all lived life's road a ways and know the value of understanding.

I have often thought that if I was to ever win one of those powerball lotteries that I would like to fly all of us to a fabulous resort destination to meet and share and have fun. (I guess that means I have to play that game to win, and I don't pay much attention to it so we can't hold our breath!)

Love Bill Murray, great quote Baby steps! How about "We get there when we get there!" (Incredibles I)
