This is the sort of social media that is indeed “social”: a sympathy message last night from an Irish friend – a longtime girlfriend of ours in Dublin, with whom we’d traveled to Florida in the summer of 2014.

Several years back, her parents passed away within a year of each other. She had also been thinking about our late girlfriend, Kam. She felt this might be helpful to me:

Rav is Kam’s younger sister. I did a quick internet search as to the author. I came up empty: I’ve got “author unknown.”
That doesn’t matter. “I’m Standing Next To You.” As I wrote back, it’s lovely.
Happy Thanksgiving, wherever you are in the world. 🙂
