I don't know what's appropriate for a loss that's old enough to drink. Maybe I'll have a glass of gin tonight. <p> I wrote two songs: <a href="https://steve.savitzky.net/Songs/stuff/"><cite>The Stuff that Dreams are Made Of</cite></a> and <a href="https://steve.savitzky.net/Songs/rainbow/"><cite>Rainbow's Edge</cite></a>; I wrote about them, along with my other memorial songs, last November in <a href="https://mdlbear.dreamwidth.org/1691378.html">this "Songs for Saturday" post</a> -- go there or follow the song links for lyrics and audio. <p> I'm... okay, I guess. You get used to it, after a while.</p></p></p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=mdlbear&ditemid=1706517" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://mdlbear.dreamwidth.org/1706517.html memorial river grief dad loss The Stuff that Dreams are Made Of reflective public 4
