Friends have been sending us music in the form of cds. If you are one, thank you. I'll never be able to say what it has meant.

I'm listening to music as much as I can bear to do so. Eventually the tears can come; until then I'm keeping the song-holding parts of my brain awake and available. Some well-loved, familiar voices are especially dear after so many years of listening and singing...Archie Fisher, the Fisher Family, Cindy Kallet, Lizzie Higgins, Gordon Bok...Others are of more recent acquaintance but no less welcome.

TL isn't ready for music yet. His loss is a different and deep-running pain.
