the best coworker i ever had. although one downside is that he keeps trying to steal my peanuts.

today was our family’s first COVID-19-stirred, socially distanced funeral, for our cousin peggy. i’ve written about her a few times in recent weeks since before & after we lost her to the virus. her favorite color was green, & she loved the hue so much. we wore green, for her. i wore this surprise gift face mask from @akikowise, matching my green shirt. green is the color of love, of the heart chakra, of acceptance. it is so nice that we can honor & remember someone through a color they savored eye-wise.

right around the time when i learned our cousin pe

right around the time when i learned our cousin peggy died two nights ago of covid-19, the coquito fairy stopped by & left a mason jar on my porch as a bit of magick planned since at least days earlier, i’m sure, not knowing of the fresh loss in our family. the coquito fairy visiting helped my heart so much—& my tastebuds, as puerto rican eggnog is apparently hella-delicious. this is exactly why people taking turns being there for each other, & this overlapping across people, is so important. & it’s a big part of why we’re here—to support each other, & to learn from each other as we live, love, & cope. & when one of us doesn’t have the energy for much in hard times, hopefully someone else does. we just keep switching, taking our turns in needing to be lifted up in the world heart-wise, & then lifting up those who make our lives better. live. lift. be lifted. & love. 🖤

on the 30th of december, our cousin peggy passed away of covid-19, around when i tried to call her but couldn’t get through by phone, but i didn’t hear the news until hours later. as i said in my last post, i’m incredibly grateful that i told peggy i loved her, maybe almost five times, when i last spoke with her, having a feeling i would not reach her by phone again in calling her several times in recent days, & i was right. i’m also grateful that i made time to surprise her with a few visits, taking her out to lunch with our family, back when she could walk with less pain, in recent years—& that i bought her a mini-boombox CD player to listen to audiobooks i’d get for her for 50 cents each at fundraising book sales at @boyertown.library after she started to lose her vision & deeply missed reading books. before the historic talerico’s sandwich shop in boyertown shut down, i picked her up her favorite hoagie there a few times a year, italian. when i bought her the same kind at wawa, she told me she liked ones from talerico’s better, & i kept that in mind from then on & told the shop owners this, too. [] this is my other favorite photo of peggy holding my mom in the 1940s (the first is in my post from the 21st of december). peggy came to stay with us for a month when i was born, to help her, knowing she was a single mom & needed support. she was there for my mom, often when some parts of our family weren’t, including during her two rounds of breast cancer, until she died in 2006. peggy missed my mom a lot since then. so have i. but it helps to know what we were fortunate to have in knowing each of them, those of us who loved them. awareness is everything, if you let it be.

i took this lil’ kermit photo after i’d called my cousin peggy to check in on her & could not reach her, not finding out until hours later that she died of covid-19 around this time on this date. she loved the color green so much. i knitted her a green scarf years ago, for this reason. i wish she’d had a chance to see my kermits—they would have lifted her spirits so much. & green is the color of the heart chakra, of love. but i’m grateful that i told her several times during our last phone call that i loved her, & a lot. my next post will be a photo of peggy holding my mom in the 1940s, in bathing suits.

in december 2020, we featured the pavillard family in upper providence living (@upperprovidenceliving_bvm). with the father as a vascular surgeon & the mother selling PPE remotely across the globe, their kids welcome friday movie nights weekly & crêpes on weekends.

in december 2020, we featured montgomery county community college as our cover story in limerick living magazine (@limerickliving_bvm), with its seasoned online learning history becoming a unique asset even more so this year, with this value pushing into 2021 & beyond. [] during the summer of my first year of college, in attending a state university in western pennsylvania during other months, i took an introduction to psychology class at the campus while at home, to work ahead in earning a prerequisite credit for a 300-level course in abnormal psychology the following semester. i was quickly floored by how it involved a challenging & harder curriculum & grading system than what i’d experienced at my four-year university. a student i interviewed for this cover story also agreed in noticing this in talking with other students who go to other colleges & universities. —so quality of education has always stood out to me with MCCC.
