Reincarnate. Appropriate for the day. I will be distracted as I write this, I'm certain. I don't believe in reincarnation. Are carnations bulbs? What do carnations look like, anyway? I think they are big and very petaly, but I can't quite imagine how they grow, just how they look cut. Reincarnate. My aunt is saying something to me. I said "huh" in response and that was good enough. My mom and my aunt are looking at photos I just shared with them, photos I've taken the past couple days of family members who are in town because my father died and the memorial service was yesterday. I like it when families come together, and our extended family doesn't do that so often. People tend to come out more for funerals than weddings. Oh I am so distracted. There is so much talking happening around me, now. Anyway. Death. And no resurrection. No reincarnation. Just death and then the person is gone. But they are still there in so many ways. In memories, in stories we tell, in videos and photos. But when you want them, you want them there in the flesh, and they are not.
