I remember when I held the cause of death of the boys dad in my hands. The tears that had not been there started flowing and all of a sudden there was mourning for his life, his choices, and the impact of both. Your brevity.....I wonder how those curt words partly summing up a life hit you.

brevity did speak stuff - you are right. It seemed appropriate and their were no words I felt like adding to it - kind of speaks of the absoluteness of it. Actually - vindication was my main word for the first hours ... and still is the key one even though a few other things are creeping in.
