Dear Gentle,
    I was able to hold back the tears until I read this post. I wish 
to meet you and your wonderful children someday, and have them tell 
me about "Uncle" Kane. Children and their unjaded view of the world, 
Thank God for them. I hope my soon to be wife and I have little one 
someday...
Thank You, Good Gentle, life just got a lot easier...
