And our pets may just be partly the beloved humans we miss, and we fall in love with resemblances to past people and pets we treasured. Today, right here and now, we have trees and the freedom to walk among them, to write poetry about, and as we have learned, or re-learned, these recent weeks, everything can change in an instant. We must live with gratitude; we must live while we can, while we are. So I signed up for the writing conference in Homer in May! I’ll get to see Erin and meet new friends. Who knows what will happen between now and then. But right now I’m really excited! But you shouldn’t believe me, because I have mint green and lavender hair. My grandma never had that. I love you, Jeannine. And always get a second opinion.
