Dear Deep Blue,
I’m 47 years old and just had my first baby after years of trying. My husband and I are thrilled. The problem is, everybody we know keeps telling us we’re too old and that it’s not fair to the child. Are we just being selfish, or should they butt out of our business?

Dear Deep Blue,
My son died this May after a long and tragic bout with alcoholism. David was just 23. My family and I are overcome with grief. Could you please reprint that beautiful prayer you ran several years ago for parents who have lost a child?

Dear Deep Blue,
The daughter of a close family friend is getting married, and we just received the invitation. But as my husband and I were opening it, we noticed it was addressed only to him. Should I ask them about it? I’m sure it was a mistake. But what if it wasn’t? Help!

Dear Deep Blue,
I recently caught my husband taking money from my purse. We have a shared account, so it’s not like he’s actually stealing, but it just makes me feel like I can’t trust him. Should I say something?
