May 2013: Sylvia at her listening post on top of a speaker.
Given my recent loss, Fred Holstein's "The Thanksgiving Song" hits especially hard today. Loving each moment of life with Sylvia "'til (I'd) loved it away" has made me extremely sad about her departure--but extremely thankful to have had so many wonderful moments with her.
Life's progression is sometimes sorrowful, but it would be unfair of me not to acknowledge all of the happiness that preceded the sorrow...
...And that happiness was considerable.
