It is hard to be so far away as this unfolds. Your beautiful writing and music choice brought me to tears, but also brought me some solace. Love to you and V’s family.
What a moving tribute. Some people stay in our lives forever, though our time actually with them was short. V is one of those. The music you chose complements your words and sentiments. Thank you.
The exquisite lyrics of the song "For Good" from Wicked. This song haunts me every time I hear it. I sometimes even shed a tear as I go down memory lane to reflect on those who came into my life "for a reason." And, yes, some have changed me "for the better". Yet better or not, it was so wonderful to have them in my life even for the briefest of time.
This is lovely and yet, such hard news! Peace to you and to V's family. It feels just right that you had the opportunity to introduce the little girl to the idea of the rainbow bridge. <3

Admire you laying down new roots and making such friends
Such a beautiful remembrance.

Thank you so much.
Oh my… 60? I am sad for you, Alison. Community is a balm in times like this. Miss you!

Your writing, your words are such a gift. I’m sorry for your loss of such a lovely man

Agreed
That sky … a balm.
And a metaphor
What a beautifully written tribute. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. The family asked me to read the tribute at his funeral and they had it translated. That was a very moving experience.
