This has been a... different... week. This week has completely cemented the otherwise obvious fact that I live in a community now. We're not just a family who lives in a place, this is a real community and all that entails is quite a lot sometimes. It's all new to me, even growing up I've never felt a real sense of community around me

*hug* I'm sorry it was a hard week, but I really liked your summary of her life. It's wonderful that you knew her so well. I admit to being in the position that I don't really know too many people more than one generation removed from myself, but I wish I'd be more inviting to just about everybody.

I'm glad you've found your community. I yearn for one most sincerely.

I'm sorry your friend has passed on - you've done her a great compliment to be able to remember, feel and speak of her the way you've put down here. I really appreciated the depth and love and care you speak of in this post... I appreciated being able to read it. I'm so glad for you that you've found a community to be part of that embodies such a range and wealth of souls. I really miss that, in my own way, about my hometown. I miss having elderly folk in my life and I probably scare the older neighbors here by following them around chatting their heads off half the time -- but that's me. I desperately want one of my neighbors to adopt me... I really miss my grandparents and all their old friends. Guess I'm trying to say, falteringly, that I get it. *hugs*
