That rings a bell for me, too. The time I was saddest was 10 or 12
years after my parents were killed. I'd been happily married for
about 10 years (still am -- 25 years next month); was living and
working where I'd always wanted to (still am); and was working at
exactly what I wanted to do (still am).
It hit me when I was walking across St James's Park in London: the
late afternoon sun was making everything *so* pretty, and it seemed
so sad that my mum could never share in how happy I was (and am).
Writing this has made me cry a little bit, so I think I'll stop now.
All the best, Mary.

In legal terms it's used to indicate a feminine of nouns.

It does to me, too
-- very reminiscent of 1930s' women pilots.

I went through something similiar, with my grandfather instead of my
parents(who are thankfully still with us). No one was more supportive
of my desire to change careers and locations than he was, and
unfortunately he passed on before he saw me accomplish either.
My grandmother gave me his ties when he passed on; he hated wearing
them almost as much as I do. I still wear 'em to work once in a while
- I figure they should be good luck.
