Morning T,
It’s clouding up on this first day of July and storms are forecast for this afternoon but hopefully when I’m ready to head out in early evening for jazz and Japanese food the sky will be clear again.
I’m hoping that calm and sunshine carries me through for the next two months. It’s hard to find words for this first year journey. Maybe I’ve been treading water, moving just to keep myself steady. There was no morning where I bounded out of bed and raced into the kitchen to find someone I loved waiting for me to engage with for day.
Treading… I’m remembering how you spoke about your time on the island of Cyprus aiding Jews held with you in the holidng camp, trying to escape to Palestine when the British held power. You treaded water for hours when those plans were thwarted .
I’m treading next to you now, wondering when this life without you will feel normal.
August 21…. our first anniversary apart. What will that day feel like?
MIss you on our first 4th apart. No barbecue with friends at 247 Oradell Ave.

Your life has a new normal now. it will be interesting to see how the second year moves forward.
Ugh
Particular days bring back more memories. Nathan & family are in this weekend, & we’ve been thinking of Arvie & how much he loved fireworks, although often there wasn’t a place to fire them off! I remember your date of the 21st because it’s Carter’s birthday. It’s raining hard this morning, so unusual for us, and I’m sorry for those who are planning things out of doors. Best laid plans, right? Hope for sunshine for you, Bonnie! Moving toward this year’s marking is hard I know.
Lots O’s sunshine here 😍thanks for your daily support my friend. I know you’ve been walking along with me through this year
