Holly, I just got a began by Sam, our condolences on the loss of your husband and in your dealing with that trauma. And you know, you keeping things around as a way of holding on to him. There's this separate issue though that says, well, what if my children end up being in this same category? What if there's a trauma that happens with them? If I don't have certain items around, I will regret not having that around. That's a real possibility.
