I look more rad than Lutheranism

As a community we dodged mortality for quite a long time. And now we have a litany of names.

It's been close to 20 years since I joined back on TT (which doesn't seem possible, but here we are). I guess it would be statistically improbable to not lose anyone. Stupid mortality.

Looking at her timeline on FB I had shared something about Viking swords with her on Oct. 12th

I really, really appreciate all the little things you do like that, to keep us all connected.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Steph, you do the Viking funeral, with the little paper boats, right? We have to remember when it comes around to honor Connie.

Yes, thank you David. The little things like the costume of the sewing kit make me happy and feel connected.

This is what finally made me cry. I am sitting here crying and cleaning and thinking of Connie and her great capacity for life beyond work.

I do, though I haven't gone in a couple of years now, because it's just gotten too hard, emotionally (between Tim and me, we've lost way too many family members in the past few years, and it just felt overwhelming to commemorate them all).

The event is in September, and I'll go next year to make her a lantern. I included her husband on a lantern one year, so it's sadly appropriate.

I don't want to make you go if it is hard! I just remembered her husband and the send off as a good thing.

I think it would be really fitting. I mean, if I can't do it when September rolls around, I won't. But I'd like to do it.

The dumpster people are here and picking up. Thank god'. Thanks

ETA. It is gone. Today I am planning on steam cleaning the furniture.

I can't even.

So sorry to hear the news about Connie via FB. We had that shared SCA experience we kinda bonded over. Like others, I was glad to see her enjoying life after all the struggles with her hubby's health. Thanks for posting, Java.

Awwww! A little monkey-grooming (as Nutty would say) goes a long way.

You talk to people every day for twenty years and you get to know a thing or two about them.

That is another reason I liked my therapist. I mentioned all you all as a support system and she didn't think I was nutty!
