This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 20, 2008:
Today I affirm the preciousness of life, held in the palms of the miracle of death.
My daughter and I went to play with a friend's kids today while she worked on the program and slide show for her brother's funeral. He was sixteen, and killed himself.
Another friend lost her baby very soon after birth six weeks ago.
My father crossed over this past May.
A little boy I knew was shot a few months ago and died in his father's arms.
I feel so deeply blessed to have a healthy, happy, amazing daughter, to be married to a magical and creative husband, to have a loving and funny mom, to have a brilliant and crazy brother, and to boast a large group of dear friends. I am so blessed.
So I affrim those blessings, and the life that is rich with them.
Aho.

2004 was a year that put my life and others lives in perspective for me. My aunt died of cancer, my friend had commited suicide, another died in a car crash and I watched my grandmother die in her home surrounded by family.
It was a rough time, but I was also… so incredibly happy that I had my amazing family and good friends there with me. Nothing trivial and shallow and out of perspective has ever bothered me since. Thank you for sharing your story, I was reminded about all the people I love. :-)
