THERE WE ARE. The First year has passed. I went to bed late that night, when you had been asleep for hours and , as usual, I snuggled in and woke you to say our good nights.
Keep guard over me, Izzy. I don’t know what Saffron and you talked of that last day but you surely did some talking. She said to me as they were leaving;
” Nana, we will be here every day from now on. “
And they were, Iz. They were.
I still hear the wail of agony from KB when she was taking to me on the phone the next day and the Police came up the driveway. That wail pierces me every time I think of it.
And on the last night, you finished the floor of our shed and turned to me arms outstretched and said ;
M’Lady – now I know I can build us a cabin in the Bush.
Good Night , Iz. Sleep well. Sandra was here today and brought me home cooked spaghetti for my dinner and I have been in retreat for days.
Good Night, Iz. Good Night.
Lynne hasn’t written a song at all but this came today from
Today is yesterday…
Has a year truly gone by?
So much has changed;
So much has not.
Life has continued
And yet it has not.
My year of ‘firsts’ is now squarely done
And it’s no easier now than when it was begunDon’t get me wrong, I’m finding my way
But I still miss you each and every dayI’ve learnt, here and there, to laugh again
And there are moments and days, I can even smile without painToday is yesterday…
Has a year truly gone by?
So much has changed;
So much has not.
Life has continued
And yet it has not.I love you
I miss youAnd without you
I love, and I live onUntil I see you again
