I talked to my sister Debbie last night. She is also getting over some summer sickness (if only I could get rid of this cough---perhaps I could sleep). She said Judi has also been on her mind much lately. I think I've mentioned before that it was after my father's death that somebody told my mother that grief comes in waves. I'd never heard that expression before but it is so true. I guess we're just feeling the wave. I try to picture a wave crashing on a beach. They crash so hard and so forcefully but then they retreat so quickly and lightly and quietly. So I guess I'm just waiting for that retreat. But in the mean time if the wave makes me remember times with Judi more.....well, that's a good thing, albeit painful.
Kevin Welch's album Patch of Blue Sky is now available. Of course you know I'm crazy about it. It seems to be about recovering from loss so it's a good fit for me right now as well.
Thanks Kevin.
