Yes, he loved meeting the recipient and felt very good about the piano's new home! So much Joy and Sorrow on the path with Gregory and his Alzheimer's!

I especially like "It came with love and left with more love." I hope that meeting the recipient eased the Gregory's pain at getting rid of the piano.

I was grateful for the quiet. I walked into each room alone and soaked up the smells, the memories and the energy. I touched knickknacks, pictures and furniture. I even stopped in their closet and pulled a worn flannel shirt of my Paw Paw's and a soft chenille cardigan of my Grammy's. I took the biggest breaths of my life, hoping and praying to forever cement them in my mind and in my heart. I know I will do the same when I enter your shrine. ♥Bun E Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573540167965230378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970555920280746563.post-90146252913168706242020-09-19T20:37:52.893-05:002020-09-19T20:37:52.893-05:00After reading this, I looked around me and it was ...After reading this, I looked around me and it was SO quiet. I began to imagine my own absence from this space and the energy of the items and arrangements left behind. Then JB coughed and a cop car with its siren blasting went by; the neighbors turned on loud Mexican corridas and somebody's car alarm went off. I landed right back inside the present. So much for silence. But thanks for reminding me that it exists. <br /><br />And that one day it will be all that is left of us.Jan Youristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416793438842106617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970555920280746563.post-78223616359587089972020-08-10T21:30:43.531-05:002020-08-10T21:30:43.531-05:00Your comment about the purse made me laugh out lou...Your comment about the purse made me laugh out loud!<br />Michael Horvichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128713159608301788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970555920280746563.post-61362992793717441902020-08-10T20:43:05.440-05:002020-08-10T20:43:05.440-05:00She really has inspired you!

I do feel privileged and realize that even though the isolation and loss of some of my favorite activities has been difficult, I don't have to fear that I won't have food or shelter. I also have found ways to keep myself intellectually challenged and stimulated, and have thought a great deal about what really matters to me. In some ways, having this time to reflect has helped me to know what is really important to me. Thank you for sharing your experience.Deb Granitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165445195294784438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970555920280746563.post-41396673105303154912020-07-05T11:43:50.774-05:002020-07-05T11:43:50.774-05:00Beautiful blog, kitchen and amazing meals!Beautiful blog, kitchen and amazing meals!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286908509280797814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970555920280746563.post-25901820353384210462020-06-09T14:00:25.400-05:002020-06-09T14:00:25.400-05:00It was such a magical space of pure nostalgia.
