November 16th is a heady day for three cataclysmic reasons:
(1) Today would have been my friend Jeff's 24th birthday.
(2) Today is the day my dear Sassafras died after nearly 19 years of living with me
(3) Today is the day, in 1996, that I accepted Christ.
See what I mean? A celebratory day for a life lost too early, the end of a great and powerful saga, and the birth of life eternal. Now what am I to say about any of that? It's the very epitome of bittersweet.
I mourn for Jeff and Sassy; I praise God for another year with Him.
What a fragile day.
