Blog Name Explained

I have been thinking about changing the name of this blog for some time now - I just never came up with anything I lked but tonight, I found the perfect thing. After Roby died, I struggled to find purpose and self. It will be 13 years in January - as many years gone as I knew him- and I still yearn for him. Tonight, I rediscovered this quote from "Angels In America: Millennium Approaches" by Tony Kushner and knew I had found my blog name.

"This disease will be the end of many of us, but not nearly all and the dead will be commemorated and will struggle on with the living, and we are not going away. We won't die secret deaths anymore. The world only spins forward. We will be citizens. The time has come. Bye now. You are fabulous creatures, each and every one. And I bless you: More life. The Great Work Begins."
