7 October 2022: 

[Catch-up post...]

Right after work yesterday, I drove to Shippensburg for a Celebration of Life event for the stepson of one of my friends/colleagues from work. I never met her son, who died back in April, and don't really know her family well, but she invited me and I wanted to honor that and honor him. 

It was so lovely--family and friends gathered at a park. The kids ran and played and the adults sat together, ate, talked, cried, and laughed. I caught up with some folks I used to work with. 

That's the kind of event I'd like for myself: people gathering together to remember what makes life sweet.
