Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! I had ice cream cake for breakfast, wore the tiara my friend gave me through today’s soccer game, and I’m just about to get the book I’ve been reading and call it a night. I’ll see everyone tomorrow. xo

I’m sorry Lance. I agree with all that that writer wrote you - grief sits in a box on a shelf, waiting for you. It comes and goes more often in the beginning than later on, but it has a way of showing up unexpected, still, thirty-seven years later for me. The image of the cat hanging onto the pole in that poster “Hang In There Baby!” always relates the feeling to visual for me.

Happy Birthday Susan! Thank you for putting together this very friendly literary community. You created a neighborhood - Mrs. Henderson’s Neighborhood!

Happy birthday Susan and many many congratulations on the book deal (a perfect gift).

Moving wrap up.
The pain of loss really does not go away.I think we just get used to it, somehow. It flares like the pain of somebody who has lost a limb and still can feel its presence many years after the fact.

Congrats again, Susan, and happy, happy birthday! I hope you’ll celebrate wildly!

I’m an Aries, too–I’ll be 39 on April 14. :)

And Lance, I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your process, and your beautiful words.

Oh, Happy Birthday Susan. I knew your day was right around Meredith’s, but I’ve AWOL this week — just back from Italy to celebrate her 18th. Have a lovely celebration tomorrow. You have huge milestones to celebrate. And if you’re any clue as to how Meredith’s signs will affect her, then I’ll allow myself pleasure over that. xxGail

Lance and Susan - HUGS to both of you. (in support, and in joy)

I wonder if there is a correlation between being a writer and being a Scorpio?

Sue, you owe me nothing. I should be paying you for the kick I got out of all of this.
