Today I’m posting a piece of music by French composer Eric Satie to mark the 2nd anniversary of my son Graeme’s death. Gymnopedies 1,2 & 3. We had it played at his humanist funeral, I found it very beautiful..calming, and reflective. It’s being performed by French classical pianist Anne Queffelec.
My apologies, my mood is understandably a tad melancholic today.

My heart is breaking today Ray. Too much time on my own.
@Marionville : It's very hard to know what to say to someone when you've never been through what they have been. I don't know what I would do if I lost my son, David. I'd like to think I try to keep enjoying life because I know that's what he'd want...easier said than done, I"m sure.
@Ray13 You have shown you care and that means a lot.
Lovely. Are these all paintings of Paris?

Yes..they are. They’re by Eduard Leon Cortes (1882-1969), he was a French/Spanish post impressionist painter known as “Le Poete Parisien de la Pienture (The Parisian Poet of Painting).
Your mood is just fine ms Marion and the piece is beautiful . Breathe and look pictures .♥️
The time u had w him , nothing can erase that time . Cheers to all the tears and the fears , and the laughs and the hugs u had w your boy . ♥️
I am going to bed as I made it home and ready to pass out , but I will have my “ morning coffee “ this evening to his memory and to your love . And will play this in the car on the long drive to work .
