Last post to brisket.
My dear on-line friend, I read of your departure within days of losing my Mum. On Friday we had a simple and dignified service in my parent's village church and a cremation after.
My Dad had been sent a condolence card by my Mum's carer. Marg had posted it in your loved Gaga forum in this thread dedicated to you. "All is well" It was read at the cremation part of proceedings and when I heard the words as I held my Dad's hand and smoothed his back, I also had you and Marg in my mind to help me do it.
For those of you all who have lost a life partner or a partner of any sort at whatever point in your lives and for whatever ultimate reason, all I can say is how awesome it must be to have it in your lives and as I now understand how incomprehensible is for me to even dare to share those feelings of separation.
Sorry brisket. I know you'd understand what I'm trying to say.
Oh. And Lori and Rosemary and all in Seattle. Thank you. Roses in June for brisket and my Mum too. (There were a simple 5 roses on her coffin to represent my Dad and us siblings. It was just perfect.)
