I don’t usually write about things that are very personal on my blogs, but I’ve decided that its much more therapeutic for me to get back to some form of work, especially blogging, which I really enjoy.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, for your wonderful words of support and the beautiful sentiments you left here and sent me by email. They truly helped lift my spirits at a time when I needed it most.
I will always remember my love. He has not gone away. He is only in another dimension - one that I cannot see or touch.
I can still feel his presence. I know he is always here with me and my daughter, watching over us like he always did. I know I will see him again.
I keep thinking of the good times we had, the many years, the warmth, the caring, the laughter, the happiness, the sorrows, the fun things we did together. The “second honeymoon” we went for on the weekend before he passed away.
The music we listened to the day before - Willie Nelson, John Denver. That day we did something we hadn’t done in years - browsed for books together - and bought a bunch of them to add to the mountain of them already on my reading list.
We were married for 12 years, together for 18. Fell in love listening to the Beatles, when we were in our teens, barely out of school.
Norwegian Wood was “our song,” but I remember most of all the way he used to sing “Hey Jude” to me, loudly and off-key.
I want to leave a tribute for him here. Its a song I recorded for him - the one he sang for me on the way back home the day before he left us to go to a better place.
For you my love, wherever you are now.
Life is continuous.
The flower may fade but the fragrance floats;
The body may disintegrate,
But the immortal fragrance of the soul
Always will remain.
From the book “What becomes of the soul after death”
by Sri Swami Sivananda.
