September 30, 2017, Flagstaff-
I told an old friend that Penny has been gone,
for six years.
He spends lots of time,
off the grid.
So, he missed all that’s happened to us,
since 1997.
Twenty years have come and gone,
and he is a loving husband and father.
I was the former, and am still the latter.
After leaving this generous man,
and his fine facility,
lent us for our Baha’i gathering,
I turned on my laptop.
I went to cbs.com,
and selected
the most recent episode
of “Blue Bloods”.
In this one, it’s revealed
that a man has lost
his wife,
in a helicopter crash.
He wants to turn inward,
shut the world out.
He has two teenage sons,
to finish raising.
His family,
and the Universe,
conspire to keep him
afloat.
Today would have been
her 63rd birthday.
I told an old friend.

I am so sorry for your lost, specially on her birthday. I just cannot fathom the pain you may have when you remember her. May the memories that you may have of her, sustain you through this painful time.
