Was almost at the Cathedral tonight, on the way to EfM, listening to 91.5 KANU classical music, when they began to play Bach's "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring", with trumpet on the chorale part, just as John Schaeffer had played it at Dianne's Memorial Service. I was undone, but to a lesser extent than before. In the parking lot, I sat there listening, after turning off the motor, looking out towards the area where Dianne's ashes were interred. Above that area, a beautiful, white star magnolia was blooming. I was happy, and at peace with the fact that she was no longer suffering, paralyzed, and in pain. She put up a mighty effort to recover her health and function, but it was not to be.
We are almost at the end of the "firsts" - soon the first Easter without Di. On May 8th, the anniversary of her Memorial Service, we will have done all "the firsts", and be glad they are over, and that we have all survived, to live on, with memories of her sustaining us all. There are so many fond memories of you my darling! Be at peace! Love, Geoff
