A really hard patch today

Since it's been so long since I could get to town to do laundry, was pretty much running out of clothes to wear. Went rummaging around, and found a bunch I'd brought back from NYC. One was a favorite sweater in jewel tones. Pulled it out.

And on the sweater, still pinned from the last time I'd worn it: a Tasini button, and a Peace March button from April 29, 2006. And I just started to sob.

What a wonderful day that was! I was at the Tasini table all day, and Edwin marched, and after the march, we all went to Tasini's dinner for the worker bees, and I met some Raging Grannies, and then we walked down to the World Trade Center, and I saw Ground Zero for the first time.

And I was in love, and someone I loved loved me, and there was hope in the world.
