3 years ago(2017), i was visiting family, friends in Rochester (as I will again!) The memory reminds me that, as each day the sun rises to a different day, each year is also the same. Though I will return to Rochester, I will be missing the conversations with one friend Fletcher. I will celebrate with Sarah Jackson Weaver’s fast growing children, I will share conversations over food with the “Woods” sisters Phyllis Woods Jackson, Carol Thompson, Sally Woods Lupiani, we may take the long drive through history to the Wayland farm of our youth, I will walk the woods being cognizant of Adirondack bears with Betsy Hicks McDonald, we will remember our important visit and march at the Woman’s Rights National Park in Seneca Falls with Mindy J. Hopper, SeaDog Dannels and others, and I will watch boats meander in front of Aladdin’s with John Reily and Donna Harman and with everyone invited we will all share that energy that each day is a different gift, and the gift within is that we are all connected.
