					<description><![CDATA[I knew you would have written something, but only tonight could I bring myself to look. It, of course, is wonderfully done and like Merrie, I thank you.  And like Big Bro, I contribute my tears. It&#039;s strange how the tears sneak up on me. My outstanding memory of Simone -- of which I seem to have all too few -- is the soft, warm, sleeping-little-girl ball in the sling while I do laundry. I have no tactile memory at all of Rebeca -- only the picture of the little white casket in my mind&#039;s eye.  She would be 20 this year. Sometimes those sneaky tears begin for one and sometime for the other, but they always express loving and longing for them both. What if they hadn&#039;t existed? Perhaps that would be easier, but somehow I can&#039;t believe it would be better.]]></description>
