ok, I'm there. We're one week from the day and she's all around.  Monday three of us went and did something professionally fibery and I knew how proud she would have been because she advocated for everyone to stretch and grow professionally.  I have actively grown my mentoring and encouraging skills because she was such a mentor. Yesterday I pulled out a jacket that was a happy color for a rainy day and in the pocket was the cork from a bottle of Mumm we drank while planning her memorial.  This morning I pulled out a favorite pair of socks, saw the heel needed darning, and found the perfect color match from her stash.  She is all around but not and I miss her and I am still so pissed off that she did this to us all.
To work, to work.
