I've wanted to write a lot lately, even started a few entries.  So much is going on!

Today was a day of extremely mixed emotions, after a similar weekend.

Saturday, Glen and I began to seriously plan our honeymoon, down to the exact flights.  When I called my mom about frequent flier miles, she told me she had just found out one of her closest friends had entered hospice.
Today, we booked our honeymoon and Malaika passed away.
We reserved the first days of our new life together in paradise, and woman who was an aunt to me my entire life left us.

One does not temper the other; I alternated between beaming from ear to ear and tearing throughout staff meetings.

We more or less made up our wedding invitation list soon after we got engaged in order to send out engagement announcements, and Malaika is the fifth person on that list to pass away.  Making a list of everyone in life who is important to you is just a very strange way to watch time go by.
