Passing On
Napalm and I talked a lot about our extended families over dinner tonight: what we remembered of them, what we loved, what not, how close we were to them, how far apart.
I am thinking a lot about my cousins lately, because my aunt, their mother, passed on yesterday.
I adored her, but I was out of touch. She always treated me so nicely, with respect and kindness. I feel sad.
There was to be a memorial service today in the afternoon. I hope it filled the needs of the sorrowful. She will truly be missed.
These words are too few to do justice. I feel and remember and care a great deal more than I am expressing here, but there is a sense of privacy in me after all, it seems.
