Sorry to hear.


I agree with Karen -- you should tell her the truth.

I hate when my parents/family keep things from me. they don't much anymore, but they used to alot, because they thought it would upset me.

I'm sure it would have, but it was much more upsetting knowing they kept it from me, and hearing it some other way. Or sometimes i'd overhear them talking aobut something that they never told me. Us kids like to know what's going on, even if it is bad.
