Maybe the baby birds’ death was an omen.
My cousin died overnight, while I was sleepless at Avdi’s. That’s when I happened upon the obit. She was conscious and aware of the family around her, then later slipped into unconsciousness. I guess that’s the way to go. It’s given me an opportunity to reconnect with the other cousins a little, as death tends to do.
I’m too tired to talk, so here are lots of flowers in the rain, the new sofa, and kids.
