My condolences to Matt and to Bev. I'm so sorry for your losses.

Connie, even I, whose parents' passing was cause for celebration of all concerned, even them...had that orphan feeling. I think it is natural, when we are a species with social expectations of connectedness.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, everyone! I'm about to run off to a meeting, but I wanted to say thank you. I've been having a really good birthday. Which is no surprise, since the various celebrations started, oh, about 10 days ago. Wheee, 40!

your feelings (or lack thereof)
Wrod. My sisters and I kept looking at each other and saying, "Shouldn't this be hitting us harder?" The only time I teared up was when my niece talked about what a good grandma Mother was and when my oldest sister talked about how she raised us to be strong and stubborn, just like her.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Ok, so it really was not the wrong thing to do, making that appointment for myself. I just sneezed so hard that it made my throat hurt enough, I'm sobbing.

Feel better~ma, WindSparrow.
If you were here, I'd make you some of my honey-lemon-ginger-sage-cinnamon tea.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Birthday to Jilli!
WindSparrow, quick relief and fix ~ma. You need to have it checked not only to take care of yourself, but for the safety and health of those you come in contact with.

Fuck. Another acquaintance of mine was diagnosed with cancer.
