"'I want a daughter while I'm still young.' He recognizes, as does the rest of the population in our age group, that our own mortality is more transparent now than it ever was. We need to carry on, but how do we take what we've learned from our parents and apply it to today? How do we rebuild our cities, our suburbs, and ourselves?"

well spoken.
well done, as always - dee
