Thanks, Peter. I don't think guilt was exactly the right word, either, because I believe so much in our choosing how we come into this life, for the lessons to be learned; but still, it is a sorrow, more than anything, I guess.

Colin just flew off, this morning, on a trip to San Francisco, with my "pseudo" daughter-in-law, to visit friends for this momentous occasion. I'll send along your wishes.:-)
