Thank you @finnian, and that is sad for your kids. I am so so fortunate to have a large multi-generational family. My daughter was lucky enough to have been very close to her great-great-grandmother, who didn't pass until she was 10. Up until then, we had 5 generations of living females, all very much involved in each other's lives - we took the whole "it takes a village" thing seriously. LOL
