Now that you are gone,
my heart,
torn in half,
lies bleeding.
Without you
days begin and end
with loneliness
and longing.
These words came to me recently as I awoke to another day without my love beside me. Without his tender smile washing over me as our day began. Without him holding me tight before I got up, begging me to stay longer....no fuenf Minueteli....five more little minutes....he would say.
I will post more at a later time but for now I want to let you know that the date has been set for Peter's Celebration of Life.
We will be gathering on Sunday, August 10th from 1 to 3 PM at Maine Audubon's Gilsland Farm Environmental Center in Falmouth. Peter and I took many wonderful walks in the fields and woods of the Farm over the years and it seems like the perfect spot to honor him.
There will be light refreshments following the testimonials. For those of you who would like to do so, I thought it would be nice to take a short walk after the gathering, depending on the weather of course.
The address is:
Gilsland Farm Audubon Center
