A year...



Today, a year ago my Sean left
this world. It changed my life forever.
We have been friends since we were teenagers.
We shared a deep bond of love
and friendship.



He is buried in his hometown in Canada.
One day I will make the trip to his grave.
Today, I brought a red heart balloon.

I went to my local river. I said a prayer
and said private words to Sean. Then
I let the balloon go. I watched till
it sailed high into the blue and winked
out of sight

I love you forever, Sean.

46th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back

 My forever favorite film. The Empire Strikes Back captured my heart all those years ago in 1980 at 11 years old and it still does 46 years ...
