Wonderful chapter, and I love the fact you've squeezed in the gay giraffes :-)

Seriously though, you've tackled some real biggies here. Elder care, sexuality (in several forms), faith and the nature of God. I think you've done a great job, and it always delights me that you're prepared to go there rather than glossing over the too-hard stuff.

Waiting for part 2 with great anticipation.
