Welcome! Join me daily as I blog about flowers, gardening, my photography adventures, life in upstate New York, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.Yesterday, I went on LinkedIn, and saw a request to celebrate someone's work anniversary. There was only one problem - that someone had died in May after a short illness. I don't know if it was COVID-19 related but it really doesn't matter.
From reading several posts, I quickly realized some of the people who had wished her a happy anniversary had no idea that she was no longer around to read their congratulations. Her employer had posted a"We miss you, X" message but I have a feeling, due to privacy concerns, they could not reveal that"X" was deceased.
In December of 2012 I blogged the below. Some things don't change. The post follows, with some edits. "When I came home from work tonight, I found a post on Facebook from a cousin who graduated from a local college last year. She was mourning the death of a fellow classmate. In other words, my cousin was announcing the death of someone who died - as we older people like to say - too soon.First, I was a third degree connection of hers on LinkedIn. The person linking us used to work with me and now works at the college she intended.
I didn't find out about this for many years later. I went to an urban high school in New York City, and there were a lot of people in my graduating class.In a way,"Q" will live forever through her social networking accounts. But it may not be the way she wanted.

'I am ashamed': Oscar nominee apologizes for past cultural appropriationIn an Instagram post, the actress says she's 'ashamed' at looking back at photos she'd taken in her younger years, in which she'd worn cornrows and used henna tattoos. If white women can't wear cornrows then black women can't wear blonde weave. Stop apologizing for everything. So, no one can wear cornrows but Black people? If anyone else does, it is racist, not that they want/like the style? Lucille Ball used henna to get her red hair. Are we now saying she is racist? No one else can use it? Ridiculous
