The Last Hour of June

I asked a friend and colleague what was the date today. She replied, "June 30." I can't believe it. July is rapidly approaching. The orange tiger lilies are already blooming in my backyard. July was traditionally a big celebration month in my family. My uncle's birthday is tomorrow. Soon it will be the 4th of July (and my sister's milestone birthday.) July 20 will be my birthday (and LaSalle's soft opening.) July 23 was my grandmother's birthday. July 25 will be LaSalle's Dedication. July 26 is our 12-year wedding anniversary. And July 29 will be a quiet observance--it would have been my mother's 68th birthday. I normally cherish the month of July, but this year, it will be bittersweet, hopefully more sweet than bitter.
