Sad news from far away
When you travel for a long time, it’s easy to forget that back at home, life goes on without you. Life also stops too, without regard for how far apart you are from your family.
A Long Awaited Return | Art by Artie Poore
I just found out my aunt Jul died suddenly and unexpectedly back in Long Island, New York, far away from where I am in Hanoi, Vietnam. This painting is by my uncle Artie, Jul’s husband, called “A Long Awaited Return,” reminds me of Artie and Jul and how much they loved each other, their family, and creativity.
Jul was a memorable woman, unlike anyone I’ve met in this big world. I can’t believe I’ll never see her again.
Amen to that. Very sorry to hear about your Aunt, Lboog.
Lauren, so sorry to hear about that when I’ve had such a good time reading about your travels.
so sorry to hear about your loss, lauren. we know it must be hard to be such a long way from home right now, as wonderful as your adventures have been, and will continue to be.
Sorry to be the one who had to deliver the news while you were away, but it wouldn’t have been right to have not said anything.
