The Heart is the only Broken Instrument that Works

All the wonderful things in life are so simple that

 one is not aware of their wonder

until they are beyond touch.

Never have I felt the wonder and beauty and joy of life

so keenly as now in my grief that my love

is not here to enjoy them.

- Isak Dinesen

I think

these difficult times have helped me to undertsand

better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life

is in every way and that so many things that one

goes around worrying about are of

no importance whatsoever.

This Friday, Gaye would have been 46 years old.
Deacon and I will celebrate the LOVE we were so blessed to have.
Yes, indeed, I do now know the
Wonder, the Beauty, the Joy of LIFE.
I now Understand what is Important.
The Cost of this Wisdom has been great.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,

love leaves a memory no one can steal
