Willie-O and Crowhugger,

You have my sympathy, and my fondest wishes for a strong transition for all involved. The change from being parented to being without parents, or even one parent, is a strange transition; and the transition being experienced by your lost parents, even stranger, I expect. But I hope that all four of you can find the strength to move forward with calm, and that you two will soon grace the world again with your inestimable talents, as your parents did before you.

Warmest regards,

Amos
