thank you. I truly appreciate having the info, believe me.

another thing i forgot to mention before, that i recently learned, was that chris had been scheduled to attend a party at julien's auction on Nov. 30th. One week before that, she had called to let them know she couldn't make it.

so for me it was nice to know she was still completely cognizant and well enough to make that call herself just a week before she passed. She could not have been in horribly awful shape, which hopefully meant that most of those days that she *did* have were not spent suffering. and of course, in my mind, knowing john was there with her for all that time overrides everything else.

these days when i watch that video of when mick was too sick to play, when they're all having their little meeting at the side of the stage about what to do...the way john's got his hand on her shoulder the whole time always gives me a lump in my throat. such a beautiful, quietly reassuring love.
