Sometimes life isn't what we expected, but that doesn't mean we need to resist change. Change is one thing that is certain in this life. So it's better to accept it than pretend it isn't going to happen.

I'm convinced my grandmother has become a monarch butterfly. Whenever I'm thinking deeply about her and her impact on my life and everyone else that she affected, a monarch flutters by and sticks around until my thoughts trail off to a different subject.

Speaking of which, there was a woman who came into bagel boy about a week before my grandmother passed away and we connected in a way, talked for a while...she was a memorable lady. Then I was sure that I saw this woman at my grandmother's funeral but I figured I would never know for sure, but she came to bagel boy today and I asked her if she knew Mary Helen and it turns out she WAS there and she's one of my cousin's best friends. It's such a small world, it's scary. But at the same time, it's comforting.

Take care.
