it's been such an emotional, painful and frightening week. the protests go on day and night and they are full of love and hope and righteous anger. they have become a part of our lives along with covid19 and our masked faces, shuttered retail stores and take out only cafes. today my friend lucia wrote to tell me that she lost her husband last thursday. he had a stroke on the morning of his daughters' end of year 8th grade honors ceremony. greg and i were supposed to join in on the zoom link that evening, only i forgot and just remembered this morning when i woke. when my computer finally started up and i clicked on the link, i came to a note that read the ceremony had been postponed because of a death in the parent community. so, i finally wrote lucia and received her answer.
they were just here for a visit last july.
later in the afternoon, korrina called asking if the bicycles in the bike room were in good shape. we had to walk to chanda to get the bike room key in order to check and we got caught in the rain.
still raining . .

That is so tragic about the death! How awful!
ReplyDeleteWe have not had any rain for a while. Lucky about the bikes.
Yes, it is so sad. We attended the zoom funeral on Sunday! It was actually very nice to virtually participate. Many family members who lived far away also participated, and it was good to hear stories about our friend from when he was a child.
DeleteA Zoom funeral! Hard to picture one. It is still so sad.
