Today’s Date

I;ve been thinking about today;s date with a mixture of joy, sadness, and remembrance.  Today June 26 = the last day of school here in Seattle, our oldest grandchild’s 19th birthday, and the date my brother died back in 1992.

I was living in Kenya back in 1992 and when the  sad news reached me, I made arrangements to fly from Nairobi to Boston, and then proceed to New Hampshire and then Rutland  Vermont for the funeral.
