I kind of hope John spends time in Hawaii with Mick. Not that I want anything to come of it, but they’ve been friends for at least 60 years and closely tied for most of it. Maybe they jam, maybe they don’t, although I think it would help if they did. Ultimately, it’s a weird time in both their lives and they’ve gotten through a lot of dark times together.

The great tragedy of getting older is that those around you start to fall away; sporadically perhaps at first, and then it becomes something you see and feel more keenly. I always think back to Philip Larkin: “What will survive of us is love”. God bless John and everyone who has lost someone.

I like the Larkin quote…
I lost my husband nearly two years ago and that is so apt…
I’m sure John will be looked after, he has family and Mick is a good friend.

Sorry to read that, Sue. You find ways to start to cope with the absence, don’t you. I hope he manages too.

Sue, you've been my Ledge buddy a long time. I'm really sending you love vibes across the ocean. I'm glad you are living your life in peace despite a great loss like that. Teaches the rest of us to be brave.
