Two weddings, one funeral and a baby shower

Received a hand-delivered, hand-made wedding invitation card on Sunday. My beautiful Chilean girl friend to marry a shy local boy.

Got snail-mailed a card wrapped in nappy cloth, with edges pinned together with a nappy pin. How cute. That made my Tuesday.

The funeral service only lasted two days, very untypical of a Buddhist funeral. The coffin left for the graveyard on Wednesday morning.

Accompanying a violinist to perform a bridal march and a couple of happy songs at two strangers' wedding this Sunday.

Deaths, births, reunions. That's the circle of life.
