multipurposegoddessSo, I ended up not doing anything particularly commemorative yesterday. It was really foggy - frequently throughout the day I could not see the house across the street - so I didn't want to drive anywhere and nothing in walking distance was a compelling enough draw to get me out into the cold and wet. And everything that could make me cry did, and that just eats up a lot of time.
I watched Friday Night Lights, which was really good for provoking more tears. Vince and his mom, especially. And drank a lot of tea. And baked a cake, which went several kinds of wrong and that seemed really appropriate. Oh, and lit this intricate and largish candle that my sister's family had given to Henry on some past gift-giving occasion - back when we lived in Benicia, so 4-5 years ago. He'd lit it a few times, and part of its niftiness is that it both melts in interesting ways and looks good while it's burning, with the flame flickering through lattices of wax. So I let it burn all day yesterday and that was nice for me, and it's got another day or two of burning left in it, I think.
