Facets, funny perspective, how many ways to consider any given thing…

In this case the particular occurrence of my mother passing, who were the different people that should be notified, who are the different people that would mourn, how would it all play out in real time?

My kids, the grandkids, makes sense, by brother and his family, sure, why didn’t I automatically consider my mom’s sister, my aunt, last remaining elder in immediate family…

Her sorrow seems more acute than I anticipated,

God bless her,

The gravity of the milestone and many decades of shared experiences and bumps and joys, no doubt all washing over her in successive waves,

More sorrow than I considered, that facet I didn’t properly consider,

God bless her.
