A Quick Note

aearwen2Just a quick note to those whom I have no other contact outside LJ: my husband of 41 years died midday Wednesday. It was not unexpected, but I had thought I had just a little more time; but it was quick, quiet and merciful in that he just... stopped. After 9 months in nursing care/hospital, he was evidently ready to move on.
That afternoon, my daughter Súl and I drove out to one of the more local areas of California wildflower "super-bloom". The breeze was gentle, the meadowlarks were singing their little hearts out, and the scent of lupin was SOOO sweet. It was a great way, and a good place, to begin the process of accepting my new reality. I'd like to think that, after 9 months of being bedridden and unable to do for himself at all, Bill tagged along for the ride and enjoyed the view with us. I'd insert a pic of what we saw, but both LJ and DW are less than transparent on how to do that now. Sorry about that.
Anyhoo, if I go silent and dark for a while, you guys know what's up. I'm dealing, and I'll be back... eventually.
