Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I took a long walk with a friend this morning. Last night our family decided to make our daughter's memorial service, two months hence, virtual. We are all devastated, but with the Delta variant and four toddlers in our family, we cannot take a chance for ourselves and for our daughter's many friends who would have needed to fly to attend. It's a heartbreaker, but we don't want to risk infection due to the service. I feel knocked out, but we will have the same speakers at the virtual service, and a slide show of photos of our daughter and also of some of her paintings. We will have music, and poetry. I know we are among many who have not been able to meet in person to bury our loved ones and speak from our hearts, but at least this will have a record for her daughter to peruse, and for her children one day, to get to know this remarkable woman who died far too young.
