Benchmark

Sunday would have been Monica's 50th birthday on the planet. A benchmark day for certain. I continue to process....found a beautiful little video she made today from the summer of 2009. Her last summer on the planet. There was a falcon on one of the trees near the bay window. It had been visiting for 3 days. Monica was taping it and commenting on the experience at the same time. So beautiful to hear her words. Then another segment where I drove her down the driveway in our new used car. She was videotaping the gardens she had planted years before, along with me spraying them with naturally smelly anti-deer stuff and commenting in a comical way, as was her nature. She really had a great sense of humor...what a great spirit she remains...
