   Google your town’s Democratic Committee or your county’s – they will give you signs for your yard, and you can also help the cause by canvassing, doing phone banks, bundling campaign literature, office support, etc. etc. YOU can be the difference!

   Grieving is so messy and hard, but so necessary to be able to get to something like “acceptance.” Sometimes it takes years, but hopefully not. But there comes a day when they aren’t the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about when you go to sleep. The fantasized conversations in your head become fewer and fewer, and the desire and excitement of seeing the person become less and less and gradually they cease being at the center of your universe. It will sneak up on you and you will realize you are seeing a lot more color and even feeling joy in your life. Your laughing will surprise you the first few times. And then you will have escaped from orbiting around him. You will have started your new life. Keep going, Petunia.

    I vividly remember the third panel and the terror on April’s face from when it originally ran, air bubbles and all. A dramatic tale, well-written and well-illustrated. What a treasure Lynn Johnston gave us with her creative gifts.
