Well, Coral is almost one year old. I can’t believe it. More on that at some point, when I get up the courage to share what she’s like these days (which is basically completely adorable and smart and very active).

In the meantime, I’ve been reflecting on what a crazy year it’s been. Not tsunami/hurricane/lose-all-possessions crazy, nothing that bad. But so tiring, and so many changes for us and the people in our lives. Some good changes, some sad changes.

One in particular was the passing of my friend Michelle’s mom, from Alzheimer’s. A year ago next Monday is the first anniversary of her passing. It was quite ridiculous, Michael and me attempting and failing to be supportive with a new baby in our lives (and not an easy baby in the beginning!), and Michelle trying to be happy for us and to understand why we weren’t be there for her when the pillar of her upbringing had just passed away. It was a rough year for both of us.

A year later, a lot of things are better, but Barbara de Grasse still occupies my thoughts. I didn’t know her. I only met her once when Alzheimer’s had already taken over. But I know a lot about her when she was still herself, and what she meant to Michelle, both in tough times and good times. That’s why I’m walking with Michelle on Saturday 10/10 in the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk on Treasure Island. My goal is to raise $200 and friends and family have already donated $80. If 12 more friends could donate $10 each, I’d make my goal. If anyone can spare a few bucks, I sure would appreciate it. The page to donate is here: http://bit.ly/bpjoO

Thanks for reading, and more on Coral soon!
