Almost Wordless Wednesday
From our dear friend, Adam Bridge, who was a great help to Steve after he was moved to Skilled Nursing at Christmastime. This was originally posted on Adam's Instagram account and when it came up on my feed, I was immediately reduced to tears. Deeply meaningful and moving.

My Aunty Lou
I'm going back in time, once again, to visit my great great aunt, Lou Goodale Bigelow. I knew "Aunty Lou," and would visit ...

I took a vacation in the first week of May. I went back to my high school and college stomping grounds, still populated by many friends of...
Wow! So beautifully photoshopped, so evocative. I love this.
ReplyDeleteI do, too, Robin. It just says it all for me.
Delete¡Maravillosa! What an extraordinarily loving visual tribute to Steve.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just? It captures so much so very well. I began to think of taking his ashes to the river Seine. Who knows?
DeleteTo answer your question. I've lived at the same address for 35 years. I haven't done the math for awhile. It's startling! On the other hand, Bellingham has changed so much since October 1984 and I am not the same person I was in 1984, so it feels as if I have been many people in many places. If someone had told me 35 years ago that I would still be living in the same place, I would not have believed them. In the first 7 years of my life we lived in five different places in California. After I left home, I lived in four more places in California and then briefly near Boston. I've been in Bellingham since 1974, living at four different addresses. I hope to live at this address for the rest of my life. We'll see (-:
ReplyDeleteThats just amazing to me, being the nomad that I have been, moving in and out of rentals at breakneck speeds. I bought my condo where I am now, and I hope to never leave. The longest I've lived in an abode is 5.5 years. I like the idea of being settled into one place.
DeleteLovely tribute. I know you will cherish it and the memories it summons.
ReplyDeleteI do. And I will.
DeleteWhat a wonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteThis was a beautiful and obviously very loving tribute to Steve. Thank you for sharing and to your friend as well.
