Today I’m struggling to write about an artist exhibition I saw in London three months ago – oh, that long ago, no wonder! My mind wanders about as I read about the artist and visit some blogs. This one about the dead walking and talking must have triggered a thought and a reminder, maybe even an answer to my current restlessness, that today is a special day for me.

It’s also timed with the Perseids meteor showers last night though I was not lucky to see anything at bedtime, probably because there were too many lights around. All these vague feelings make me want to repost part of something that I wrote two years ago:

I have more than one good wish and remembrance on this auspicious day:
Happy anniversary to our daughter E and son-in-law J
Remembering both their late grandfathers’ birthdays that serendipitiously fell on the same day
Happy Birthday to nephew N, living and working in faraway South Korea
Remembering the serendipity of my father’s name and birthday month
