Mick,

Sorry to hear of your loss. May all the music you make sustain you as the reality of this loss settles into your heart of hearts. It's such a major event, the loss of that living connection to your source of life, a turning point with no repetition or do-overs. I know that when I lost my last parent, it was my folk song companions who were there to support me, to sing at her funeral, and to honor her.

I imagine with your charisma and grace, that you have the folks to gather 'round you in the world of brick and wood as much as you do in the pixelated world of Mudcat. My prayer is that you have as easy a transition as possible to this new part of your life & that you are able to let those who (obviously, and in large quantities) love you, help share your grief.
