    EPIGRAPH: First of all, the ones in sorrow should be urged if possible to sit in a sunny room and where there is an open fire. If they feel unequal to going to the table, a very little food should be taken to them on a tray. A cup of tea or coffee or bouillon, a little thin toast, a poached egg, milk if they like it hot, or milk toast.

    EPIGRAPH: There exists a silken red thread of destiny. It is said that this magical cord may tangle or stretch but never break. When a child is born, that invisible red thread connects the child's soul to all the people -- past, present, and future -- who will play a part in that child's life. Over time, that thread shortens and tightens, bringing closer and closer those people who are fated to be together.
