Did the usual with S11 for Halloween. Weather wasn’t great, but he had fun. W and I hung at out friend’s home for a few hours while he went out in the neighborhood. While she kept some distance, she did make some small talk and bring up extended family members’ posts of their costumes, etc on social media. Also, at one point she showed me a picture of a cat her friend posted on her FB wall that reminded her of her cat when she was in her teen years. Then proceeded to say unsolicited that her “mean neighbor” killed the cat and that she misses it very much. I just listened and validated (“that must be a terrible thing to experience. I’m sorry” as best I could.)
