The nature of balloons

Something all the kids need to know. And a bit of metaphor for the folks.

Must we say these things?

It's semantics, but these really irritate me.

Loss: a baby is not a remote control, or the car keys

Circle (or wheel) of life: yeah, well sometimes it rolls backwards and death happens, then birth

Ashes: anything with identifiable chunks of bone in it is NOT ashes

Angel: my baby did not become a supernatural mystical spectre of any sort.

Born sleeping: with sleep, there is always the option of waking up and usually you don't decompose while you are sleeping. This is far more creepy than plain old DEAD, IMHO

I'm sure there are more.
