A sweet Hello

 This is a hard week for me.

This coming Sunday May 24th will be the 16th anniversary of John's passing. I am remembering all the "lasts". The last time we kissed, the last time we held hands, the last smile - and so much more. Wondering what I would have done if I had known they were the last. Wishing I could go back in time and experience them all over again.

And that brought me to remembering so much from our 32 years together.

So, yesterday, I was in my car getting ready to run some errands. I pulled out of the garage and let the car idle in the driveway while I chose some music from my phone to play. I had recently downloaded Barbra's latest duet album. It's quickly become one of my favorites. The first song on the album is probably one of my all-time favorites and I consider it one of the most beautiful love songs - "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." 

So, I opened the album and that song started to play. Then, the most wonderful thing happened.

As I sat there and listened to the first notes and words of the song, something caught my eye. There, right in front of me, a little feather slowly floated down onto my windshield and landed right on the windshield wiper. I couldn't believe my eyes. What are the chances of that happening right at that very moment? 

I took it as a sign from John. 

He was listening too. 

He knew what I was thinking. 

He was remembering too.

Our love is still alive. He is still alive and with me.

Thank you, John. I love you. ♥
