   I don’t like to complain about the illustrations because I absolutely love this strip (have read it everyday since day one), but an armless baby creeps me out a bit…

   My mom changed the wording a bit:

   “when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall…but Mom will catch Baby, cradle and all.”

   Must say, I liked that ending much better.

3. about 14 years ago on Lio

   A week ago I was talking to my dad.

   dad - “I just found some solar powered xmas lights at Lowes!!” me - “What on earth do you need those for?” dad - “You don’t need to know. It’s just something I want.” me - ::thinking, thinking:: “Oh! You’re gonna put a tree on Mom’s grave aren’t you?” dad - “Well, I’d like to. Haven’t done it in a while.”

   Saturday, talking to dad again…

   dad - “Have you read today’s Lio yet?” me - “Nope not yet! Why?” dad - “Just make sure you’re of sound state of mind or alone when you do.” me - “What could Lio possibly do now that would require me to be sane? It’s Lio…”

   Wow. I had no idea Lio would make me cry. Lio should look into those solar powered lights. She would’ve been 51 yrs old on Christmas morning. :( There’s no sound state of mind when someone misses their mommy.
