The Lives They Loved - NY Times mag. Mesmerizing.

I took a look and became as expected an emotional wreck in very short order.

That shouldn't particularly surprise me since this happens regularly when reading actual obits. which has been my habit since I was 14 and my father visited the kitchen one last time. Maybe this is a normal thing for people to do when they lose a parent at that age and in a way beyond true comprehension. Not important on that matter though, point being I read obits and often am moved.

The article to which you attached does not seem to be taking from direct obits, rather it is giving short recollections of various individuals on people in their lives who died during the past year. Were these writings part of the originational is unknown to me as I haven't looked up the primary obituary for any of them (though likely I will on a few...if not all).

Neither does there seem to be an actual limit to just 10 for the monthly run. At present my fingers have clicked on more than a dozen and still no pop-up memo about the limit amount. (perhaps because it is thought of as 1 article) (hope that would be the same for you osso and any others who may be inclined to take a look)

So, rather than continue blathering, just a simple thank you for providing the link. It's appreciated.

that's good to know, re the clicks.
I'm glad you get me..

Still enjoying and reading through. Very touching and in many cases inspiring.
