On this day last year, one week before Craig’s death, I was very grateful for all the messages of support I had received.

Now, in 2008, I am anticipating (that would be a neutral enough verb, yes?) being in Montréal again, this time to celebrate Craig’s legacy as the award in his name is presented, for the first time, to James Loney at the convocation ceremonies of McGill University’s United Theological College.

Today I finished writing what I’ll have to say. Perhaps I’ll publish it when I get back.

I didn’t jump in soon enough at a meeting tonight to try to express all that I’m feeling. Tomorrow is another day.

Mom and I travel to Claude’s on Monday.
