Names

This year has been tough. I am not sad to see it go. Although truthfully, it’s just a number that has no bearing on anything that has happened or will happen. Things just happen.

I didn’t want to let 2013 pass without writing something new here, but I don’t have the words in my head. Not the ones I want.

Somewhere, though, I wanted to mention the people who died. I wanted to make some small record of their lives. Some of them I barely knew. Some I’d never met at all. Some are the loved ones of my loved ones. Some I’ve known and loved my entire life.

Kate, Adam, Karen, Neeny, Patrick, Will, Ned, and Alice….you are missed.

I know. But I do not approve.
