  1. Of course honourable mention, jessi! That’s a very sweet story!

    (When the last of my parents and stepfather had died, my sister turned to me and said, “You do realize we’re orphans now, don’t you?”)

    “The people at your firm were always some of the nicest on our old floor.”

    dibs even does it on the floor in the office?

    Funny small world story….I was out one night with one of the two guys I ever did in my office at US Trust and we ran into the OTHER guy that I did in the office and it turns out that both of them (asian, of course) knew each other.

    Unfortunately, they would not both come back that night. 🙁

  3. “MTPA award goes to MM for the story about taking the picture of her deceased mother into the voting booth to vote for Obama.”

    That was a beautiful story. So many, we need an archive!

  4. My mother’s mother died first, then her father. When we were sitting shiva, I was five, I turned to my mother, all weepy-eyed and asked: does this mean you have to go to an orphanage now?

    Honorable mention?
