Yah, BowDrill...I'm out here. :) And I know what you're feeling. For me, it was after my Grandparents passed away, my Granma just one year after my Granpa. :( I feel loneliness and an emptiness inside when I go to see the home I grew up in. Different people live there now.

BowDrill, aren't we all just "passing through" like the wind? What's important is the mark we leave while we are here. :)
