Today is my late Mum’s 75th birthday (she passed in 2000 at 61). And this year it’s also Ascension Day, and Episcopal Church of the Ascension had an AD service. So that works out well. Not nearly as well as spending the night at my mother’s birthday party, but.
Also, I noticed that when Maya Angelou’s Facebook page announced her passing yesterday, they referenced ascension: “Her family is extremely grateful that her ascension was not belabored by a loss of acuity or comprehension.”
