I'm not afraid, and right now, that seems to put me in the minority. My job is no more certain than anyone else's, indeed, it seems likely to end fairly soon. I have no vast wealth to fall back on and no certainty of future employment. Yet the credit crunch, recession, coming depression and loss of all certainties doesn't trouble me.

I've always thought I'd meet the two babies of mine who didn't make it to term, as whole personalities, in the eternal garden.

So it's encouraging to read of someone else who thinks that way.

There must be so many of those innocent ones, all beautiful, and joyful, awaiting the rest of us.

I'm sure they are all there waiting for us. I call my brother Francis. He made contact with me many years ago when I was feeling like a failure and wishing I hadn't taken his place. He assured me that he didn't see me as the person who took the life that should have been his, but as the one who came to make our parents happy again.

Every plant and animal I ever loved will be there as well as every person. Death will just be a huge reunion to me.
