Journal entry by Al Negstad — a minute ago
It is no surprise to regular readers that Joanne loved birthdays. The length of time in the land of grief can be measured, in part, by Joanne's absence for the second time at M-E's birthday. She is ten now. Such events certainly do bring an acute sense of the presence of absence. While I try to do the best I can with birthdays I just don't have the spark that Joanne did. We ate out then went for ice cream...it was fun, special, the absence is becoming routine but sad.
Grief touches grief. Tim Fishers death makes me profoundly sad. Tim; bright, articulate, compassionate, dedicated, funny, educated, sincere...his death is a terrible loss, especially for his wife, Christine, but also for all who knew him and even those who didn't. Words fail...
Blessings,
Al
Joanne with Mai-Evy and Sella.
