In Memoriam

Sad day. I just got the news that another friend has passed away - far too many friends lost in the last few years. I know that dying is inevitable, but somehow (whether fair or not) it doesn't seem as poignant when you read the obituary of someone in their nineties who has led a full life. Toward the end of her life my mother was ready to let go - to join the many friends who went before her. She had been prepared for years and often said as much. To lose someone younger, someone who hasn't completed her life and still has so much to give, is harder to accept, if accept we ever do. We'll remember you Mary, and we'll miss you.
