She treasured them. Elizabeth journeyed Home in January. I just received the prints this week and will hang them soon. 9 Reply Kevin8 months agoKevinJust two nights ago, my wife and I attended a large outdoors “Pumpkin Extravaganza,” A themed event in in a nearby city in which schoolchildren, and accomplished artists created exquisite art displayed on pumpkins alongside installations of other Halloween focused displays.

As wonderful as the presentations were, what I equally enjoyed was being among throngs of people out-of-doors, at night with a full moon overhead. It has been at least twenty months or more of intentionally not being among crowds of people of any size due to Covid, and I found myself at times awash in the joy of just being among other people, taking in the works of creative people, listening and watching children, parents and grandparents taking it all in with equal measure.

It has been hanging in my living room for a week now. I was asked to accompany a singer at a party for a woman turning 75. That lady’s daughter also wanted to sing a song for her mother. I invited her to my house to practice. It became the song “the Rose” for her mother Rose. She sang it beautifully. After the singing we got into a conversation. She told something about herself and about her grief; she told about her husband who has a brain tumor. Karel my husband died of a brain tumor. My understanding for her was …..It was a very special meeting. A week later was the party for her mother. It was a special, emotional party and the singing was beautiful. At the end of the evening the daughter came to me to thank me in a special way. She told me that her husband is an artist and very much wanted to make a portrait of my husband. Despite his brain tumor, he can still draw and paint. The portrait was finished last week. I cried when I unpacked it. It is so very beautiful. I am so thankful for this new friendship. In December we will also perform together with a Christmas program in a care home. Read More15 Reply Christine8 months agoChristineYou are all so kind 😍.
