… with the family loss of the “old guard”. This goes for both (Mum and Dad’s) sides of the family. I was informed last night that another (my Dad’s youngest sister) passed on in England. (This is after being informed that there were 2 other losses in December.) I am glad I chatted with her for a bit via Skype when she visited my cousins in Australia a month and a half ago. Though I …
… (or at least, when I do) the inherent quiet of the time helps turn down the noise in the head. The noise that accumulates in the course of living life.
