Oh, Kathy, this was good to read. I am feeling very low right now -- now that electric power and telephone service and so on are restored to most neighborhood here we are, as Rachel Myr said to me today, entering the taking-in phase -- realizing how many neighbors are suddenly, unaccountably, dead, and how many others -- who saw the people jumping, or ran in the falling debris, or etc -- are utterly emotially devastated; and also how enormous the destruction of our town has been, in ways that are going to keep coming clear for a long long time. So just at this minute a simple and good story of how calmly and lovingly we can care for our children and each other was just *exactly* what I needed. Thanks.
