Hanukkah: and by accident of calendar Rest in Peace.

Menorah from Freepic

To the person RantWoman has come to refer to as the Safest Sex Offender on the planet: Rest in Peace

RantWoman heard news of this Friend's passing by text. This Friend had a powerhouse care committee and seems to have passed away with staff of his hospice facility around him. There will be a memorial in due time.

RantWoman does not particularly feel grateful to be reminded in a low-key way of things going on in her life at the Hospitality Committee equals pastoral care plus knives and hot liquids moment during coffee hour when the long saga of this Friend's walk with University Friends Meeting began.

The things that inflame RantWoman's soul this time of year are in no way this Friend's fault and the things still inflaming RantWoman's soul belong in a different post.

RantWoman is happy though to say Thank You Friend. Thank you for doing your own work. Thank you for all the learning that came from walking with you. Thank you for surprising RantWoman regularly with vocabulary RantWoman did not expect to hear from someone more comfortable with fixing things conversations than with more academic patterns of connection.

Thank you by the way for all the Fixing Things efforts you contributed!

Perhaps that is enough for now.
