unforgottable

-Presiding over my first funeral, and realizing what a complete honor it is to be invited into such personal and sacred moments. Other than accidentally saying "he will not be forgotted", it went really well. It's a wonderful thing to be able to say "Death does not win. Life does. Love does. And love endures forever."

-Ending up on msn.com and seeing a thrilling article about my super-athlete cousin (my cousins are ridiculously athletic), Bonnie, who won the state track championship single-handedly against over 50 schools. Again. She did it last year, too. Way to go, Bonnie!!

-Holding Neil & Ruth's precious baby girl Ruby Rose, and thinking that I've had a very full-circle couple of days.

Way to go Bonnie! I'm really proud of her too!

I read about your cousin, not knowing she was your cousin - I thought, she must be some determined, gutsy woman....wow. Neat to know the connection.
