at an open-air flea market today, i found & bought

at an open-air flea market today, i found & bought this printed funeral program for an infant who died in 1890, almost 131 years ago. the program was designed & printed in philadelphia. since i love walking through cemeteries & absorbing the lessons we can take from the history & lives which came before us, i learned years ago that we often take for granted how much more common than not it was in the past for babies & children to die while still so young, not getting a chance to grow up & to become adults.

in recent decades, i often think about this & how deeply painful it must have been for these families to watch these deaths happen, unable to stop them, & to bury their babies & children. & this reminds me also then of how miscarriages are still decently common, & they are often unacknowledged in society & not given the attention, care, & respect which would-be mothers & fathers deserve to receive in how unbearably raw & anguish-filling it is to lose a child they’ve been preparing to raise & love but never had the chance to meet or hold.

grief is such a larger topic than it ever receives attention for in our society, & it is one of the most real & human things we could ever experience. it is important that we learn from history & each other while we are here, if we want life in this world to improve & not to fall away into itself, & the same for ourselves.

mind the awkward elbow angle—after almost two decades, BRCA1 & BRCA2 breast cancer gene-testing is actually affordable & sometimes covered by health insurance. i finally had my genetic-testing done today. it will take 2-4 weeks to get results, but it’s worth the wait to potentially have more information & also to help my nieces be better prepared & informed than my mom was & in me following up in being proactive for my health because of what took her from us. education, advocacy, & awareness are everything, more than is often talked about in our world. i am here to be a bridge, a beacon, a voice for women & those who love them.

upper providence living magazine, october 2021 edition—@simplypositivekids joined the local community in 2015, then two years later becoming an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit, focusing efforts largely in & around the limerick, royersford, & collegeville areas of montgomery county. the goal pushed forward through simply positive kids is to give children & teenagers the opportunity to volunteer & give back in small & larger ways in local communities. this is so often thought of as something for adults, but young people need & deserve chances for this kind of opportunity, & it helps to teach them the impact possible through the smallest-seeming actions & labors of kindness.

this month, limerick living magazine features the cooks who hosted exchange students from countries across the world for 21 years through their membership in rotary clubs in maine & then pennsylvania, once they moved here. what they’ve learned from being parents of children from other countries over two decades, & knowing they keep in touch with many of them & plan to visit some of them & their families overseas when they retire, makes this one of my favorite cover stories i’ve helped to bring to pages this year. there is so much heart & depth in their reflections on their time making their home another one away from home for teenagers taking a chance to try something so challenging as a young person but so valuable experience-wise. the cooks are proud members of the collegeville rotary club & were parents to 11 foreign students through it between 1999 & 2012. they first began this unique form of parenting back in 1991 in maine. & their time in this role, with their daughters only knowing what it’s like to have an extra sibling at any given time but grateful for the lessons in this, has taught them so much.
