You know, that "selfish note" is really very helpful. It's one of the few, most powerful grace notes amidst the long (long) reverberating shocks from grief and loss -- the knowledge that others take note, and live (or in my case,

    • Lesbian Dad commented on I heart Pride saying Thanks, Vikki. True enough: very hard to negotiate heat, crowds, and streetcar tracks whilst herding wee ones. Herding pictures of them adds an extra special challenge. Fortunately, for most of the walk up Market St. we had three adults in our immediate group, and another half-dozen chums in shouting distance. And
    • Vikki commented on I heart Pride saying That picture is fabulous! I posted the few pics I took at Pride on my blog. I wish that I had taken more but it's hard when you are wrangling the kids through crowds...as you well know.
