I am overwhelmed and touched by the messages of love and support I have received this past week when I needed it most
I am gradually coming to grips with my new reality that my beloved wife and life long companion is no more but yet always by my side as a beacon to lead to me where she is now through the way of the Cross . I am not worthy to travel that path yet but I am trying to find the light that will help me.
Ceci , in her last days would call out my name as many times as she could
Andrew , Andrew, Andrew and she said it gives her comfort to know I was around her and not to ignore her . I said it was OK .
I now utter Ceci , Ceci , Ceci and I hear the Sound of Silence which is music to my ears and gives me inner peace .
Thank you All !
