River: Remembering the FlowerCat: Four years after

[mdlbear]

Colleen died four years ago, at 04:30 Pacific time, so probably around the time I finish this post. It seems like a long time ago, or maybe just a few days. Or two moves. I'm surrounded by memories. Memorabilia. Every so often I'm struck by how many of my things have stories attached to them; many of them involving Colleen. To be expected -- we were together for half a century.

The world is very different from what it was four years ago, mostly not for the better; there are many things that I miss. And of course people. Too many people.

It's 1pm; we lit a candle for Colleen an hour ago, and toasted her memory, and talked for a bit. N found some purple flowers in the front planter to set in a bowl next to the candle. A candle makes a good focus for giving her a silent update. It's been a nice, quiet remembrance.

I'm going to post this, and sing a couple of songs. See whether I get through Eyes Like the Morning without falling apart.

Colleen, I will always love you.

I miss her too

Once in a while, I say something to a deceased friend or family member, as if they're still in the room. It's the closest that I ever get to "prayer," and I am grateful that Colleen is on that list.

May her memory bring many blessings.

I miss her too. I grieve with thee. Want a big, long hug?

The screen is suddenly blurry. Either it's defective, or the onion ninjas are attacking again.

Hugs are always welcome.

I may have cause to remember the onion ninjas.

My best to you. Clearly her memory is for a blessing. May those continue to enrich your life.
