(Side Note from Lady Beltane: This might seem a bit morbid to some of you, but this is the 54th anniversary of my dad’s crossing the veil. This year it has been harder to deal with his birthday March 25th and crossing day April 1st. He was only 36 years and 7 days old and I was only 11 years and 11 months on the day he crossed.)
