@rosebandvar,
Rose I don't think it matters much although I'd think if they come and go that the pl'd work better

How ya like that'n for 'plural would'
...or that'n' " 'that'n' "

Yea, the first no good tho I'd think most all esl's'd know "that'n' "


In mind's eye can see my critics tearing their hair out. Sorry guys, couldn't resist

I don't think 'closure' is really what you mean - it doesn't mean the same as 'comfort' or 'relief'. Anyhow, if the collective presence of all the children is what gave it to you, then use 'presence'. If, however, it was the individual presence of each child separately that provided the feeling, then use 'presences'.
