Wendy Patton 32 years...46 families! Letter from Executive Director annual Every hour you volunteer, every dollar you give, every time you report advocate on behalf of North Willamette Valley Habitat for Humanity, you make a real difference in our community. When a 2017-2018 family owns an affordable home, the impact multiplies with every generation. Parents are financially secure, children are healthier and do better in school, and they are more likely to become homeowners themselves, passing the stability on to the next generation. During 2017-18, North Willamette Valley Habitat for Humanity continued to build upon the community support and financial strengths that have become hallmarks of the organization. Through the generosity of donors, the community, and you, we have acquired land to build four Habitat homes over the next 2017-18 Board of Directors few years. In July, we broke ground on our next home in Mt. Maren Wyatt, Chair Deana Fredinburg PO Box 852 Angel. We cannot do it alone.

    Roz Kaveney A Sense of the Ending: Schrödinger's Angel This essay will be included in Stacey Abbott's Reading Angel: The TV Spinoff with a Soul, to be published by I. B. Tauris and appears here with the permission of the author, the editor, and the publisher. Go here to order the book from Amazon. (1) Joss Whedon has often stated that each year of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was planned to end in such a way that, were the show not renewed, the finale would act as an apt summation of the series so far. This was obviously truer of some years than others – generally speaking, the odd-numbered years were far more clearly possible endings than the even ones, offering definitive closure of a phase in Buffy’s career rather than a slingshot into another phase. Both Season Five and Season Seven were particularly planned as artistically satisfying conclusions, albeit with very different messages – Season Five arguing that Buffy’s situation can only be relieved by her heroic death, Season Seven allowing her to share, and thus entirely alleviate, slayerhood. Being the Chosen One is a fatal burden; being one of the Chosen Several Thousand is something a young woman might live with. (2) It has never been the case that endings in Angel were so clear-cut and each year culminated in a slingshot ending, an attention-grabber that kept viewers interested by allowing them to speculate on where things were going. Season One ended with the revelation that Angel might, at some stage, expect redemption and rehumanization – the Shanshu of the souled vampire – as the reward for his labours, and with the resurrection of his vampiric sire and lover, Darla, by the law firm of Wolfram & Hart and its demonic masters (‘To Shanshu in LA’, 1022).

  • Parting Gifts
    My Mother’s Parting Gifts PARTING GIFTS by Puja Thomson MY MOTHER'S FIRST "PARTING GIFT" came to me unrecognized and indeed unwelcome two years before she died. It was her cantankerous upset at my gadding about seeing friends throughout the 12 days I was back home in Edinburgh. "I don't know why you bothered to come, you haven't spent much time with us!" she said. Pangs of guilt, resentment welled up. Didn't she recognize the time I had spent with her? Old feelings of being controlled flashed up. The mother-daughter saga, and underneath, a truth—I was overextended and exhausted, torn in many directions, with many friends to see. I was fitting them in, a lunch here, tea or a walk there. It was true. I wasn't really with family, not in any depth. Perhaps she sensed that the sands of time were already running out in her life. "Don't come back if you're just going to use this house as a hotel for seeing friends," she fired. I had to ask myself, what did I really want? On the one hand, I was angry at being told what to do, how to live, what's right, what's wrong, all themes of my youth and upbringing. On the other hand, I sensed an incompletion and a possible step yet to be taken to bring healing to us both—before it was time for her to leave her body. I sensed a longing and a willingness to be more available to her before it was too late.

    Recommended Books on Death, Grief and Loss Center for Good Mourning www.goodmourningcenter.org There are many excellent books dealing with death, grief and loss available for both children and adults. Presented below is a selective list of recommended books covering a wide variety of grief-related topics and genres. Please review any book with thoughtful consideration before using with children. PICTURE BOOKS A Terrible Thing Happened by Margaret M. Holmes, illustrated by Cary Pillo. Magination Press, 2000. “Sherman Smith saw the most terrible thing. He was very upset. It really scared Sherman to see such a terrible thing.” The “terrible thing” is never defined—it could be an accident, a death or an act of violence. The story ends as “Sherman is feeling much better now. He just thought you would want to know.” Adam Gets Back in the Game by Greg Adams. Et Alia Press, 2019. For ten-year-old Adam, happiness is being involved in a little of everything, including his favorite thing of all, playing basketball with his best friend Isaiah. But when he falls on a broken bottle, everything must stop for his "big hurt.” Later, all that Adam learned in healing from his injured hand will be put to the test when Isaiah dies suddenly in an accident. Author proceeds from this book go to the ACH Center for Good Mourning. 8.12.2021 Annie and the Old One by Miska Miles, illustrated by Peter Parnall. Little Brown and Co., 1971. Annie is a Navajo girl who lives with her mother, father and maternal grandmother—the “Old One.” One day Annie’s grandmother gathers the family and announces, “My children, when the new rug is taken from the loom, I will go to Mother Earth.” Annie resists this reality, and with gentleness and wisdom, her grandmother helps Annie to understand that although her grandmother will die, her grandmother would always be.
