Michael,
This is so amazing-- last night we went out with some dear friends to a Cajun restaurant, and this very topic came up!!
These friends have boys the same age as ours so they are also going through this.

Last week one of the boys' schoolmates lost his mother, age 43, to cancer. We began to talk about our funerals and what we wanted, and it led to the subject of what now? And we all made some "vows".

I received an absolutely beautiful message from Croc by PM, in addition to her incredible post here. We are so lucky to have her! I am always amazed at the people who seem to find DAR--I truly believe we have the most terrific people at SI and sometimes I'm even tempted to think there's reasons for why we are here!
I felt sort of silly yesterday talking about feeling bad, because I try to stay upbeat and silly here, and I don't really like admitting "weakness". But I should have known that my admission would be greeted with warmth and love and practical thoughts.

I love you all.
