I thought that David could say things to Pat that his family couldn't. I knew David wouldn't sugar-coat anything and not that Casey wouldn't but David could say it 'because' he wasn't a brother. That really isn't clear but maybe I can't seem to get my thoughts out eloquently. I must admit I was shocked when Pat kissed David and had to re-read the scene a couple of times to make sure I had read it correctly. I thought it was a beautifully written scene wit raw and real emotions and a big POW ! One might be able to recover and to forgive but never forget. Events happen and are on different scales of impact or importance but they still change a person. Something like Sylvie's death is a marker of sorts or a defining moment and therefore unforgettable. I do think Sylvie and Pamela accepted certain risks and often love doesn't let people walk away easily. They would rather be in their husband's worlds then be without them in theirs. Sheesh, I must be chanelling Gladys Knight now! :) -- Cindy's Cottage

I'm going with Tracy on this one in that a non-family member can more often cut to the quick with an issue. There's no fear of reprisal over Sunday dinner if you don't like what the person said. I think there's a bond b/w them that occured at internment that even Casey knows, from experience, he can't breech. Part of you will always remember pain and guilt, especially over a devestating loss. And while you do move on with your life you definitely are effected in a deep way that I'm sure impacts a lot of your future choices. As for Pamela & Sylvie - I think they'll both agree it's better to "have loved and lost then to not love at all." (NT) --
