Our neighbor passed away ten days ago while visiting friends and family in his native Iceland; the funeral was today here in town. We will miss his gentle presence.
The main tree on his lawn - just off from the front door - was shorter than the house when he and his family moved here in 1966. Now it covers the lawn and hosts a new family of herons. Isn't it beautiful, even in the rain?
It makes me wonder: what will this tree, planted this spring by the boys, be like if Husband and I stay here until the end?
Moments like this make me very glad to know that this life isn't even the beginning of it all ...

Oh, me too! And can you imagine what life is like for the other folks? I don't know how they manage honestly...such hopelessness...
