Go with " give my sweetie a big cuddle and a kiss, wipe her eyes dry and say "It's alright. It's only plastic and metal. And a few pieces of glass. Incredibly expensive, exotic and exquisitely assembled glass, but in the end, just glass." And somehow word the last line as an analogy to how she is incredible, exquisite and exotic if not more so.

Hmmm....lemme see, now... A.) You can get the lens fixed (if it needs fixing), the hood replaced, sell the MP to some deserving person, buy a $39.95 P&S, make a pinhole camera out of the MP body (just drill a hole in the body cap), give up photography for fishing, take up needlepoint .... B.) Your wife and child....irreplaceable, of infinite value, worth everything in the world... Not a hard one, IMHO.... Tell her you love her!!! There have been times in the past several years, dear LUGers, when my return to photography with Leicas, starting with my M6 from Michael Hintlian, has been a lifesaver for me, giving me some goals, getting me focused, so to speak.... :-) And, there have been more times when I would give it all up, in an instant, for my late wife's presence... There's not a time I go out shooting that I do not think, "I wish she were here to see the light coming through those trees, across that field, on our granddaughter's face....." Nope, not a hard one at all, for me. Ken -- The Rev.
