When my parents died (16 years apart), I fully realized the gift of presence. You were in Florida at our church the weekend we had to leave to be with my family through Dad's dying and funeral and I remember vividly you walking into the funeral home later in the week.  I think that is especially true of funerals.

And, if we can't show up enough, it might be a clue that we have too many surface relationships to take care of. I admit that a few years ago, I decided to narrow my focus to a few select relationships, and this has made life less frenetic, more fulfilling. For social obligations, my spouse and I take turns "showing up." This also helps with our rhythm of life. I like the simplicity of this…
