Last week I ran into a friend who now owns a bar-restaurant that Burt and I frequented; we hug, she offering me condolences and saying now you’ll live your best
life. Then she’s telling me that Burt was a character. Hearing her assessment is a blessing.
That day, I also ran into a Social Worker I had consulted during the journey. She’s from a nearby community center where Burt had joined me for Caregiver Appreciation Days. After our meeting, and BTW, we exchanged hugs. I sent a photo of her with Burt from one of those events.
Seeing people who knew him feels so good. Burt still has this connection here, not just with me, but with our broader world.
this is our life
