Christmas Day

It’s been sad to spend the first Christmas without our mother. An abrupt and disorienting change to the familiar rhythms of the holidays: meals and cooking, joy and laughter, ritual and ceremony. We will spend this time honoring and missing her.

Our time with her in the hospital this past week was difficult. Through it all we have been lifted up by the expressions of concern, support and love from many friends and family. Thank you.

We will hold a memorial service for my mother in New Jersey in mid-January. I will post the details soon on this blog. If you are unable to attend, I am working on an approach for you to participate remotely.
