I wish I had a working scanner.

Cards seem so impersonal. My boss used to send me out to buy sympathy cards for him, which is a difficult task as you don't really know how the person sending the card feels, or how religious the family is, or anything else. I didn't plan on getting a card for Suz's family; I don't know them other than what passed through Suz's journal.

But then I saw a pretty blue card with little golden butterflies floating upwards, becoming stars. It reminded me of Suz's butterfly charm script, so I looked closer. The sentiment seemed perfect: "Imagine the beauty of it -- that moment when the soul of a loved one returns to the stars, the voices each whispering I remember you."

Tonight (actually, very early in the morning for us West Coasters) is the Leonid meteor shower and it promises to be spectacular. The wonderful, compassionate, caring Suz Dodd's soul is being welcomed in a big way.
