DCfC

Little sweetheart, Sylvia and I walked up to The Met yesterday through Central Park from the west to the east side. I usually take the same route, crossing over around W66th Street near Tavern on the Green, past or through Sheep’s Meadow, past the bands shall and then down the stairs to Bethesda Fountain before continuing on past the Boathouse.

Yesterday there were a couple off buskers, a guitarist and a drummer, playing songs through a small cube amp with both the guitar and a mic for vocals. We walked around past them slowly watching and listening - they’d set out a little box for tips and had their CD for sale -  then sat on the far side of the fountain looking at the surroundings, including the lagoon which was at high tide after all the rain we’d gotten here.

The duo was transitioning into another song, I thought I recognized it. Then it came to me. It was  DCfC’s“I’ll Follow You Into The Dark”. Tears came to my eyes instantly as I sat there listening, little sweetheart. I remembered you taking me to see them in Sacramento for my birthday and how I held you and we listened and swayed and cried together. I walked over to the buskers and put five dollars in their little tip box and put my hand to my heart and said. “thank you”.

You are with me, I know. You are with my everywhere. Until that day when I may truly join you with faith and pure love. Forever. Forever.
