Terrible assault on the congregation at prayer in a black church, then three huge legal victories at the Supreme level, in housing, directly affecting minorities, and health care, affecting everyone too young for Medicare, and marriage equality, affecting another marginalized group.
The President addressing the joy of the LGBT population and immediately leaving the White House to give a eulogy for the pastor of the attacked church. The Confederate flag finally being consigned to the museums. Hardly time for anyone in the nation to catch a breath between tragedy and triumph.
Then Midsummer's Day, the earth turning on its axis toward a new season, and today Handsome Partner's birthday. Handsome Son and I celebrate him on this day, since he died on HS birthday in August, so we keep that day for HS. I think it's better to remember people on their birthdays rather than when they left us.
