I miss my kiddos

Friends, I am coping with the loss of two of my favorite little guys, Dominic and Kevin. These clever little munchkins have grown wings and flown off to Africa with their parents, leaving me quite childless and distraught.

I miss reading Thomas the Tank Engine storybooks to Dominic, and laughing at esoteric gags for hours on end with Kevin. These guys have a special little place in my heart, and I'm proud to have called myself their caretaker and "uncle".

(This is the place where a picture would normally appear, but I'm experiencing technical difficulties, i.e., no pictures, and would like to ask you all to please be patient.)
