Today was a good day so far. Started with church with my daughter, then brunch as has become our custom every other week when she spends the week with me.

It does feel like every moment this week has been filled with thoughts of Kamonti and her family, wishing I had taken time to get to know her better, wondering how her children are doing since receiving the news of her demise, and noticing how it appears nothing has changed at her house across the way. Her SUV is still parked in the driveway as normal. I haven’t seen anybody going in or out even since delivering a small pot of three flowers and a car a few days ago to accompany the many other flowers that have been left as a memorial in her yard. As a matter, fact, I think I’ll stop writing and go water her flowers that loved ones have left on her driveway and porch.
