A Planned Occasion by Angie Kim

palmpages's review against another edition

5.0

A moving novella by Angie Kim that reminds us there is no perfect time to live life. Time doesn’t align itself for your idea of the perfect time. You align yourself with the time you have, which is NOW.

A long happy marriage with the ups and downs. A gentle reminder to just use the good dishes, wear the red lipstick, don't save it for a "special occasion" because life will get in the way.
Part of the Kindle Unlimited catalog.

My favourite story from the Good Intentions Collection. Managed to make me cry in 22 pages. Sweet, but not as sentimental as some of the others and I liked how the narrative is structured around a 'Dingsymbol' (a symbolic item).

Some short stories pack such a wallop that it's like being punched in the gut. Or the heart. Both in this case.

The story revolves around an unused picnic basket received as an extravagant wedding gift five decades before. What the story is about though is grief, loss, regret, anger, and heartbreak. Beautifully written.
