7 years ago today a grand being travelled from this realm unto another… I still remember it so vividly like the clearest and starriest night . I still miss you so much Daddy…. you passed in the afternoon, around 3pm to be precise. Exactly 12 hours later after some very restless sleep I woke as if a lightning bolt had struck me in my heart. In that moment I went outside into the freezing November air of Upstate NY near the beautiful mountains and looked up into the clearest wintry sky… a billion stars twinkling down. I felt my your presence still so strongly there and all at once a waterfall of words spun, weaved and poured there way out of me. You were talking to me and your words seemed to echo around me like the beginnings of a quiet symphony so very similar to one of your favourite symphonies by Mahler, it grew and grew in ripples and waves. I have always loved reading and was lucky to have two incredible parents who shared and instilled this passion for words in me…. and since that day I have felt this even deeper and complete connection to words and the gentle yet powerful ways in which they cascade down from the other realms. Sometimes so quickly my pencil, or even Piano fingers cannot keep up with them! I feel you Daddy as you swoop in and out of my earthly life, not unlike an Eagle… always checking in with me before you once again returns to soar in the Bardo Realms you felt such affinity for whilst here on earth. I feel so lucky for these visits and yet my earthly self longs to be held in your arms wrapped in a big bear hug. Loving you always dearest Daddy….
