Word of the Day: Hail & Farewell

Ceremony where new arrivals are welcomed and people departing are recognized. Usually paired, as the goal is to have a bit of overlap. Hails are generally simple. Farewells can include roasts, many praises, sometimes a gift of appreciation.

    How wonderfully moving and beautiful that people's comings and goings are marked with simple, ceremonious events.

    If it were only that way at home!

    Sincerely,
    G
