@birming Thank you for sharing. 🩷 What a great post with a lot of thought, heart and soul. As I’ve said before, I always enjoy your posts, whether they’re a simple happy moment or something deeper & more thoughtful. You encourage me to think about writing more longer pieces. I used to (a few here, more at other blogs I’ve abandoned or deleted in the past). Thanks for the encouragement.

@manton Reach out to them … I like the handwritten idea! I was only getting together with some at funerals. Now, there are 4 of us who text regularly and meet in person when we’re in the same area. It’s meant a lot to all of us. Life’s to short to wait for sad events to get together.

@birming I hope you don’t hit delete but I understand your feelings. I’ve deleted, resurrected, and re-deleted several blogs over my online life. It’s what makes you happy, gives you purpose, and how you wan to interact with (some) others.

I will say I’d miss your blog as many of your posts & pictures put a smile on my face when I run across them.
