Correct, though I have still done my share of loitering on the Ogunquit beach. No apoplectic owners in sight, so far, but it will be an interesting conversation.
With LuAnn, Greg and Karen do such a good job of portraying those late teen/early 20s kids who are taking more time to find their way. I was one of those – it just took me longer with some starts and stops, but all of that got me to my grown-up self with a purpose, doing some good in the world, and raising a family. No regrets.
And Greg and Karen’s gentle humor with LuAnn’s extended adolescence makes me smile and remember.
Google your town’s Democratic Committee or your county’s – they will give you signs for your yard, and you can also help the cause by canvassing, doing phone banks, bundling campaign literature, office support, etc. etc. YOU can be the difference!
Grieving is so messy and hard, but so necessary to be able to get to something like “acceptance.” Sometimes it takes years, but hopefully not. But there comes a day when they aren’t the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about when you go to sleep. The fantasized conversations in your head become fewer and fewer, and the desire and excitement of seeing the person become less and less and gradually they cease being at the center of your universe. It will sneak up on you and you will realize you are seeing a lot more color and even feeling joy in your life. Your laughing will surprise you the first few times. And then you will have escaped from orbiting around him. You will have started your new life. Keep going, Petunia.
