Nilly, I'm glad you were able to share that story with us. And I'm glad one of the booklets went to you. Peace and comfort wishes to you.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Meara and I talked about this at dinner tonight (I got to see meara for dinner!), and she suggested what I think is a great idea--why not plan to gather in January? That will mark a year since we lost her, and if we got together over MLK weekend, that would make travel easier for people who have Monday off. Plus it's usually beautiful here in January, so a nice time for people from other areas to come here, and it's far enough away for people to save if they want to come.
Thoughts?

It's both good and bad for me.
Good in that I'm no longer tied to the academic school year in the same way I was (new position means I'm no longer in an admissions office).
Bad because I'm usually stone broke after Christmas, especially if my son comes up to visit like he does every other year. Still! I'd do my best to be there.

Our wings are not tired.
Whenever we gather I will try and get there. January works for me.

I like that. I wouldn't be able to do it this summer, and this would give me time to save up $$ got the trip.
Also, get me the fuck out of the Midwest in winter for a weekend, which is a bonus.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
In agreement with Strix.

I don't see myself being able to do any travel that requires a plane for the foreseeable future. So the date doesn't affect me.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I'm local enough that I'm likely to be there whichever part of the year it lands on.
