an original

i found this party streamer half way through my walk today. how sad do you think i was when i accidently broke the tip off that curly leaf on my way home? crushed. coincidentally, i attended my aunt Geri’s funeral yesterday. she was my mom’s younger sister, and best friend these last few years. i adored aunt geri. she had spunk. and grit. and determination. she had three daughters, and was a true feminist in the 1950’s…a whole generation before it would become a national movement. so this grass stem reminds me of her; fun, determined, beautiful. an original. we will miss her.
