community

I and we, as in Laura and I, have always been big believers in it takes a community to raise a kid or children. Ani and Tim ran wild in down town Astoria after school when they walked or bused to Lucy's Books.  And now I'm finding that our whole community is taking care of the kids and I. It totally takes a community to help us morn and see the light of day. Thank you all for holding my kids and I close.

I am donating some fruit trees, bulbs, and native pollinators to a sweet farm near us where Laura loved to go.  The farm is 46 North.  It is a peaceful and lovely place to go.  We feel close to both the owners and the people who go their for a connection to the land.

This weekend was good and I cried hard and I saw two pairs of hooded mergansers and I walked with friends and I danced like no one was watching... Just to let you know, I will not be writing anything more about my kids. This is too public. I get that...  Happy Thanksgiving week.
