It’s usually okay with our immediate family where through constant reminders and struggle with schedules we manage to make that ballet practice or the little league match. Anniversaries and birthdays are often remembered with the help of phone reminders…

where the theme given was isolation, communication, conversation

She was one of many people walking down the rose-edged path.
She was surrounded by conversations, but had no communication
with anybody. Nobody paid the slightest attention to her.

When she got home, she purposely misquoted Wordsworth in her journal:
“I wandered lonely in a crowd….and I’ve never had such a feeling of isolation.”
