3 months a fiscal quater has passed

So you have been gone for 3 months today.
And I am angry.

The time and the visions are still clear sharp and very painful. Your words play over and over.

You made a wise choice.

Senator Byrd has passed

Lewis, am writing to let you know one of your relatives has passed away. Senator Byrd finally got his wish of dying in office. He will lie in state. We know he did many good and bad things in his life but he was a true historian and defender of the consitiution.

Ashes in the ocean breezes

I have not been able to write.
I did not know how difficult it would be to send your ashes out into the wind. The time was 6ish the day was sunny warm and beautiful just as it was on our wedding day 23 years ago. I sat on the cliff, near were we had our first apartment. I read a few poems from the book you wrote for me. I took part of the braid you had grown over the past few years and intertwined it with a lock I cut of my own. Our hair was the same length. I sent the circle out over the ocean.
I waited to see if I would hear chimes as you came to our nuptials with bells tied with a red ribbon in a place I was to find later.
I cried.
I scooped your bones into one of your caps, I had a baseball with me. The breeze blew you toward shore.
I miss you.

Lewis,

I just want to update you on what is happening on Earth.

The tomatoes I planted only a month ago have blossoms.

I played plumber today. I fixed the broken flush arm in the toilet tank. I know you laughed at me about being a fix it person but if I remember I still did better than you at repairs.

How about when we locked ourselves out of the apartment in Newport and I solved the problem by taking the hinges off the door. That was a great laugh for years.

Or how afraid I was when you were splitting wood.

Sorry you had to use the plunger in Florida, but I had enough to tend to and you had the knack.

Helen Thomas finally resigned from the White House press corp. Her anti-Jewish stance finally seeing the light in her advance days. I think like most people (you included) as death grows closer true feelings surface. Many are ugly.

The market was up. Though the drag down is heavy.

I fell on my knee yesterday as I was pruning the lilacs. The last time I fell was when I was visiting a few years ago and again I was pruning. You wanted me to go to a clinic. Ha the bills. You should see the bills after your death. Obama care is where?

The Red Sox are not in first place.....
