Much said and left to think on in a few powerful words.

Phil,

I find this statement ambiguous as is my relationship with my own parents. Of course there is always the grieving anger with those who die and abandon us, what better way to express it than by flying in the face of that terrible caution about sidewalk cracks. As others remarked: so much said in so few words.
