It came out OK, but I had to do some serious vocal gymnastics to fill in the holes left by one brother who has an odd conception of harmony. >And remember, it hits you at the oddest moments...< Boy, you're right about that! After my dad died a few years ago, I thought I was all done with the sniffling. But a full year later I was watching The Lion King, and when Simba was head-bumping his dead dad and saying "C'mon, Dad, you gotta get up" - well, it all came rushing back and I was crushed with how much I missed my dad. Thanks, everyone, for your time and well wishes - they are most appreciated!
