I am going to see my oldest 'partner in crime' for the last time tomorrow.

I have known her since 1975 when we began teaching together. She has been battling cancer and all options are gone. Her health is declining rapidly. I think she will be gone before Trump lands.
She was a hell of a Democrat.

This began her saga:

1. Ah grits, I am so terribly sorry for your loss

Sometimes the universe is just grossly unfair. I will keep you both in my thoughts, and may she have a gentle passing. Blessings on you both, and may good memories of your friendship attend you.

a mile away, there was no way to dodge this blow. I have a lot to remember and laugh about.
