Sunnier Skies

I am off for the next couple of weeks. It has been a long year, there's no doubt about that. In some ways it passed so quickly, and in others - well not so much. If you are a new listener to the Waking Crew, I want to thank you for finding us and spending some time in the morning. I am genuinely having a good time again, and I believe it will only get better. To those of you that have been around a while, you no doubt realize that an anniversary is nearly upon us. It seems impossible that a year has passed since I sat alongside Ron and laughed with him. Since I heard his voice or touched his hand. There were times over the last 12 months that I wasn't sure it was ever going to be okay - not even for a moment. Yet the human spirit prevailed, just as I was told it would. I am a different person than I was a year ago. A little less certain, and a lot more grateful. Perhaps a balance of both is where we are meant to live. I have thought of Ron every day over this past year. The difference now is that I do it to remember all of the wonderful things about Ronnie that continue to make me happy. Kozy told me the other day that I need to find a way to let him go. He has other things he has to do now. I will never forget - but I will make room for what's around the bend. I may be far away, but on the morning of February 13th, my heart will be alongside anyone who also remembers. Stay well. I look forwarding to returning to you in a few weeks.
