I know that it’s Christmas Eve. Doesn’t matter to me. Still feels like my world is crumbling around me. Three deaths of three people who were an important part of my life as various times in less than three weeks. It’s hard to just shake that off. Two of them carried some of the earliest memories of my childhood. The other carried the memories of being adults together.
Getting older means loss way too often. But when that loss hits you one right after the other, well, it really lays you back on your heels. So here’s hoping the rule of three has now been met and I can check my email every day without fear. At least for a little while.
