After all these years
Why would I want a sign?
Seven years in now,
I’m doing pretty well.
And at 83, I’ll soon know
One way or another
What awaits or doesn’t await
On the far side of the rain.
I don’t even need to know
That you’re alright
Although there’s nothing
I want to know more than that.
It’s something else, more about this world.
I want to feel this living heart
That knows no other place to be.
Otherwise, what am I doing here on Earth?
At first I thought you were referring to your son, but then I thought ‘It hasn’t been seven years since he left, only 5 or 6.’

Jon died on April 21, 2019. So that’s seven yeaars ago this month.
This brings tears to my eyes
Thank you

I’ve just turned 80 and reality is right in front of me! I’m not ill, not yet, and I love my life and family, but there are changes coming and I’m not dismissing them – but I’m hoping I can enjoy some more years with my family and my husband – 60 years together.
