My grandparents were always HUGE LGBTQIA+ advocates and loved rainbows. They both died recently and I think they were looking down on my son and I today while we played basketball.

Time for a new book review. Just finished Wave by Sonali Deraniyagala. This was unexpected in so many ways. Reminded me of how capricious & tragic life, large bodies of water, and nature can be. Clear and direct prose. Can be read in 1 day. #bookstadon #bookreview #memoir #tsunami #griefjourney #ocean #amreading https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2025/01/book-review-wave-by-sonali-deraniyagala.html?m=1

Today was the Parents 58th Wedding Anniversary.
They fell in Love at first sight and have been together ever since. Until January.
It has been a Journey. Grief is rough. Today we celebrated their Love by Visiting the cemetery and blowing bubbles, which mom loved.
We miss her. And we wish everyone could experience LOVE like theirs.
