An Anomaly of Time

[liralen]

It's only been a week.

It feels a little like forever, but it's only been a week.

John came home today, and in the hot tub, he was nearly as incredulous as I was, about it only having been seven days.  With all the things that we did, all the stuff we've seen, all the decisions that were made, and all the life that was packed into the last week, it

The very weirdest thing for me biking around the back roads of rural North Carolina when I lived there was how areas would have both a "white church" and a "black church." They were often on the same road and not that far apart. It was always news when they did things together. Kudos to those pastors and congregations.

I wouldn't have thought of it in advance either (even after having lived there nearly 20 years) but yeah - you'd be an unusual sight.

That is interesting, what you saw.

And, yeah, *laughs* I know a lot of people that would never have thought of that...

I know the feeling. It gets less sharp and painful over time. *hug*

[liralen]

Uhf... yeah. Yeah. You do...

*hugs you back solidly*

Wow. It sounds like you crammed a lot into a little time. And I'm only reading about what you did.

[liralen]

*grins* It's good distraction....

I have always been... dismayed? Irritated? taken aback? To find that there isn't even a chapter break for some things. It's... annoying.

I'm glad that your Next Days are unfolding.

*hugs*

[liralen]

It is!! It is...

Yes, they are... and I'm doing my best to really experience them, even with the distance.

*hugs you solidly back*

'life goes on' can be as much a bemusement as a comfort; how can the universe not notice? although in truth, thank the heavens it doesn't.

we're in Bellevue(arrived on the 21st) and I've looked at Overlake each time we've driven past and wished George and all the family well and hoped for the easiest of times.

[liralen]

So true. Thank God it doesn't actually stop and notice...

Ahhh... thank you, so much. The wishes are deeply appreciated, and his family has actually been doing pretty well.

It's *good* to have no regrets.
