Some time in the next few days I will try to stand in front of family and friends and tell them about the love of my life, Grace. The photo is of her winning, but this time she didn't win. Life has completed its cycle for Grace and we have to figure out how to proceed. She got a second chance years ago and we have warm happy memories and wonderful friends because of that second chance. We sailed the seas...cruised that is, climbed the highest mountains...drove up Mt Mitchell, crossed the deserts...Palm Springs? We got to see a lot of the country and a bit of the world. Then came Rome and our hearts were lost forever. Everyone thought I was obsessed, but Grace was the one that made our trips happen. I planned, I took photos, but she made it happen...time after time. We thought that we had one more trip coming,but it was not in the cards, I wish I had planned better.
Putting a string of words together doesn't frighten me, but I hope that I can actually say them. She will be easy to talk about, but I expect a lot of trouble getting the words out. No matter how nicely you say good bye it hurts bitterly.
Good bye my love.
Max,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link to Grace's service, I had a chance to watch it last night. I cannot imagine how hard was yesterday on you and the rest of Grace's family but what a great tribute to an eve great woman!
My thoughts are with you.
