Went to another funeral today, this one for a friend who suffered a stroke earlier in the summer.
A few years ago I had a summer like this, where it felt like I was going to a lot of funerals. Somebody at work even commented on it (I kept wearing suits, and I never dress that well for work.) My officemate said "You go to a lot of funerals because you know a lot of people."
She was right, I realized as we discussed it. I live in my hometown, I have a fairly big family, and I've worked in the same place for a long time. Lots of connections, lots of people, lots of funerals. But also: lots of weddings, lots of baby showers, lots of retirement parties.
It feels like the summer is nearly over. It was warm enough this week, but the leaves are starting to fall, there's condensation on the car window in the morning. I can't say I'm sorry to see this season change. The memories of this summer are still mostly sad. Even though...a friend did have a baby, a healthy little boy. My brother-in-law gave his brother a kidney and both guys are recovering well. Another friend has just been swept off her feet by the man of her dreams.
Wheels are turning, mileposts whizzing past.

I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Normally the top websites are full of garbage.
