Gain and Loss

A photo from last week's cafe/write sit.

It was a good session.  I need more of these.

Strange week, though.

I found out this morning that my dad's sister died.  She lived in rural Phoenix in a mobile home on a biggish piece of grassless land.  She and her husband kept horses and such.  I remember the dust and the hay bales.  But she was sweet.  She was the last living member of that family:  now all of them gone--my dad's parents, my dad's six siblings, my dad.  It's kind of stunning.
