Hey, Time, Shape Up!
Jun. 12th, 2012 04:29 pmTime is supposed to keep everything from happening all at once. I'm used to people I know sharing birthdays, or having birthdays in close proximity to each other (Here's looking at you,
debgeisler and
benveniste, and you
benyalow and Tom Whitmore.)
In the last 30 hours, I've learned of the deaths of four people who were known, loved, and cared for by people I love and care for. Two of them, no, three of those deaths directly affect me, Jim Young's by far the strongest though the funeral I'm most likely to attend is in Brookline on Thursday afternoon. (Non-fannish, for fannish readers who might worry.)
Shared birthdays are a delight. Shared death days not so much, dammit.
