"Could you turn that down, please?" The voice carried over the fence, sharp and accusatory. The music, it was true, was probably too loud. The party had been going on a bit.

I felt a sense of lightness and openness. I thought of all the fun I had recently, and the fact that I'm able to have parties. I made my way to the fence. The party was a celebration of life, a chance to connect with those he loved.
