Things

Things that make me sad:

Plants that I don't have room for.

Thinking about the ugly too small green dining room at 51 West Chapel that became the main living room for the widow who lived there after us.  Too small bedrooms. Weird bathroom configurations. 

Thinking about this home being my parents' dream home and just like their life, not working as they hoped.

Thinking about my father dying before Grace was born.

Thinking about my mother's childhood.

Thinking about our son's lack of a graduation and our daughter's lack of closure at UNC.

My father's last moments.

Plants that die before producing fruit or flowers after I grow them from seed.

Selfish people.

The church.

The Church.

John Prine's death to Covid.
