50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (August 22, 2023)
As we prepare to drive to a funeral - three generations of us - I consider the changes. In the beginning, birthday parties, celebrations of survival, gifts, streamers, cake, tears. In the middle, weddings, announcements of desirability, cancellations of availability, drinks, dances, tears. Toward the end, funerals, pronouncements of conclusion, affirmations for the living, dark clothes, hugs, tears.
