Poignancy here. I have been to the wailing wall (in my youth) Have you been there, Milt? It's awesome to be in places with so much history.

You know, Andrea, as much as I've travelled, I've never been to Israel. For some reason the occasion just never came up. The Wailing Wall must be awesome! Hope you have a wonderful week.

I can relate to this ...

I'm sorry for your loss, Shirley. I'm afraid many mothers will relate to this. It is an altruism but not a truth that children should outlive their parents.
