Still thinking about this, especially after last night's GAMH show where there was a quick intake of audience breath after the stage announcement. My vote lands on something (the median of everything and nothing?) changing: the mortal coil, of course, changed dramatically, but also everyone left behind, still coiling, with any luck, indeed changing.
What for me remains largely imperceptible on the day-to-day, 20 years on is material. I never would have resonated with Mark's suggestion of Onward while the body cooled (and yeah, the third wife’s dogs barked then too). But keeping it an open question has reaped some dividends. Grief is sly. Keep it close just in case.
Number 42, eh? He looks nothing like you but maybe that's because he's doing that huge, cheesy fake-ass grin. Not an expression I associate with your face.
Well, at least someone *told* you that Stan died. My sperm donor divorced mom & remarried to a woman who had a bunch of boys, and they were the only ones mentioned in his obit, that his first family - three girls - got to read online ten months after the fact. The general consensus was that we hoped he made his second family as miserable as he'd made us. <3
Yep, it be that way sometimes...Onward.

Oh I believe the smile was real. But you know...at 17, what's not?
