I'm looking forward to seeing so many beloved faces in the next few days.

David, you will get my biggest hug.

am quite certain I will get to town and realize I only packed half of what I need somehow. But I am packed.

I keep second-guessing myself on my obsessive packing list. Self, it is just a weekend! You will be clean and dressed. It's fine!

Packing cubes are wonderful and awful, as they allow you to overpack.

I did, in fact, buy compression packing cubes specifically for this trip, because I am by god only bringing a carry-on.

Today we are holding David in our hearts even more than usual as the calendar and our memories mark his and Jacqueline's anniversary. Sending all my love.

We are wandering the Tahoe area today and will be back in SF later.

It is the 20th anniversary of our wedding day. I remember it all so vividly. It doesn't seem so distant in time.

Best wishes, it sounds like a very melancholy time.

Bittersweet for sure. But still plenty of sweet.

Going through this process pulls me back into the intimacy of our relationship, which is good. But it makes the wound feel fresh too.

I am so sorry that I can't be there with you all in SF this weekend. David, I hope the memorial is everything you want and need it to be. I wish I could give you some big hugs in person.

Yes, holding you tightly in our hearts today, exactly what Kate said about this weekend. Twenty years is both a long time and a blink.

I will be there in mind and spirit this weekend.

All those bags of mulch I put out make the front of the house look classy. [link]
