Our Lives Before Us

Little sweetheart, Facebook is a funny place and I only really check in there at all regularly to monitor messages to the band, but today an alert let me know that 10 years ago you and I spent the day in Carmel.

We'd driven down for your call back for "The Blue Room" and Ken had told you that although they weren't ready to announce it, you had the part.

We walked together after on the beach where we took this and a few other photos, wandered around the main street into a candy shop and Lush, where I bought you some bath bombs that we took up to Davis.

These images are never far from my mind. Indeed, prints of them are within arm's length at my desk as I type this. I only longingly wish you were within reach yourself.

But I know your spirit hovers close by, closer than I can imagine, and that one day soon I will join you again and forever. With all my love...
