This weekend, my widely scattered family has gathered to hold a memorial service. Coming from all up and down the East Coast, from Florida in the South where my husband and I live, to Vermont in the North, from Ohio to the west, and a great many points in between, we are sharing memories and stories, tears and joys, and trying to make some practical decisions as well.
Because of this, I would like my readers to join me in a virtual moment of silence. No regular blog post today, just a few minutes to reflect on what’s really important in this life.
Thanks for your understanding.


I’m very sorry to hear about your father.
I am so sorry to hear about your father’s death. My sympathy goes out to you and your family.
