I endured loss
because memories wanted to live.

Hello, Michael,
Yep...love is both the foundation and that which simply cannot be explained.
Thank you!

(Unrelated: I have family in San Fran and they thoroughly enjoyed the 60th Anniversary Grateful Dead celebrations. I hope you did, too!)

Thanks L! I couldn't attend…
Thanks L! I couldn't attend the GD celebration, but I dusted off plenty of my GD CDs and had my own celebration!
