She spoke of her father's quirks, his kindness, his wisdom. Her voice rang with an infectious energy. She felt the warmth of the room, the collective joy of the attendees, and she felt connected.

Later, she found herself twirling slightly as she walked back to her table. It was the perfect evening. She had so many good feelings.
