I met Dennis in college thru a graduate research study he was doing on folks with
Raynaud's Syndrome. He wanted to see if this phenomenon, nicknamed the "patriot's
disease" because our extremities turn red, white, and blue, might have a stress related
component and, if so, could the symptoms be curbed with the use of biofeedback. Turns
out the answer to both is yes.
He was a kind soul who I always knew cared about me as a person. I was not just a
means to an end for him. It was a sad day several years ago when I tried to reconnect

Lalor is the dear woman who led the book group that I faithfully participated in for as
long as she did them. She is a spiritual director and I always appreciated her willingness
to let us wrestle. Her womb of an office was a safe place to bravely struggle through
the books we read together and/or whatever was on our hearts.
She also had a deep fondness for me, even as I struggled with the other members in
our group. She loved me even when I found it hard to love. And that meant the
world to me.

Yes.
I believed that both of them would want me to restore by resting. I could catch up here
on another day.
(Which is just what I did.)
Blessed be.
