Last winter during the trip my wife and I make to Woodinville, Washington each year to dog sit an aging standard poodle, I got my first hearing aids. I won't go in to the runup to that decision but most husbands can guess who was pressuring me to "do something so you can hear better."

It was a cold autumn day when they stood at the graveside service of baby Shenna. Sally recalled the open grave looked like a wound in the ground. Her dad held firstborn Gary, then only four years old. Little eighteen-month-old MaryJo wriggled in her grandma’s arms, trying to reach the flowers. Time passed by.
