A Planned Occasion by Angie Kim

emotional hopeful reflective

4.5

If someone asks me the reason why I am so very fond of short reads, I would make them read this one. 
Angie Kim puts a spear through your heart and soothes it with the greatest care, in all under 30 pages.

A woman reflects on her life, her companion, love, loss, special moments and missed opportunities while pondering over a precious wedding gift. 

Standing at the dusk of life, a picnic basket gifted by her mother, teaches her to finally seize the moment, to seek closure and know her now dead husband, her life partner, a little bit better. 

It's emotional, it's real, it's a slice of life that makes you think, smile and tear up a little bit. Do you really know a better way to spend some thirty odd minutes of your life?
