Dear Wim,

What a mixture of joy and sorrow life is. Congratulations to you and your
wife on your wedding anniversary! You are ahead of me: we will celebrate 20
years in December.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in the memory of your son's death. I
cannot imagine how painful it must be to lose a child, but I do imagine it is
a pain that never goes away completely.

Here teen-agers can get a beginner's permit to drive at age 15, then a full
license at 16 (though it varies from state to state.) My 14 year old can't
wait. I have mixed emotions!!

I thought, at first, that my TM anniversary would upset me from year to year,
but it hasn't. Hope the same is true for you.

Thanks for sharing, Wim.

Barbara H.
