Songs that carry my thoughts to her and her thoughts to me....

Love song in a classic and beautiful sense of the word...yesterdays artists are forever remembered by the music they leave behind...

One of Holly's favorite artists and one day last month or the month before, I spent the entire day in bed listening to this artist....

Found this one song and artist recently and  just talks to all of us in a way when we are looking for some light...

This artist is tapped into some thing quite zen like and spiritual  and I had the pleasure of seeing him at a small concert not too long ago. (Thanks to Sam and Am) He took a similar journey Holly did often going through the same villages Holly did throughout India.

I had been listening to this artist as she has so many songs that are unknown to me and this one song spoke to me many times listening to this one...

Holly was so excited when she saw Aretha Franklin back stage at tha Newport Jazz fest... became one of her favorite artists.... then this one popped up when i was compiling this list and I saw her laughing and thought how all her girlfriends would prefer watching this artist as well...

In this song its simply the deep connection I always had with Holly ( even though i am not a song writer.... maybe a book about Holly is more like it)

These words pluck every thought and emotion possible and who more appropriate than Mr. Sinatra to sing.....?

Im sure when Holly transitioned into Heaven the world stopped, stuttered and exploded with a welcome similar to the way this song does....

another song that Holly put in front of me just now...I love when I receive little gifts like this as often as i ask her, I suppose?  The last time was this one below as i needed some answer....and hope.

I am going to list a couple more and one with some soul as is well known and as I was looking for the song she loved and we all love "lean on me"..this was just below that one and its Sunday morning and I always think about going to Church and then don't... so Church came to me in this song and although its not by Bill Whithers its nice....

This is more to shift songs and either make this the last or add one or two after this....

I imagine when we are having a difficult day I close my eyes and see Holly's face and somehow think she is  suffering is no longer and gave us all she could have given and wants me, you and us to go on as best as we can..and unknowingly again I am finishing up with another song she sent me just now to state the only thing we can keep doing until we stop....no matter what we are facing.

A hug from a stranger

       I know I will forever be trapped in a time warp but I had written so many thoughts that stay with me so I remind myself to share ...  Following the memorial in Rhode Island ,  Hollys grandmother had winde up in the hospital for a colonoscopy and so I spent 2 days with my Mom. Holly's grandmother  is an incredible woman who recently celebrated her 85th and my beautiful daughter Rose has given her Sitto a great grand son, her first, Joseph James or JJ as Aunt Gloria loves to call him. The night  Mama Leona came home, she offered the most profound advice...She said "Robert you have to Be content with your loaf of bread and added afterwards if you have two thats even better". Mom is not known for delivering advice in such a simplistic way, it usually comes with why don't you and if i were you etc... So later it sat with me and I thought she's absolutely right... I could share it, break bread with friends, freeze it for the future,  eat it ...

My first whisper from Holly

Image
      I had my first whisper from Holly as soon as  God chose her to become her angel. I refer to these whispers as signs, and most signs have to do with the beauty in nature.  Our family had gathered to have some lunch at Sette, and moments before I was to leave the restaurant, a minister walked to our table and said to my grandson Joe  what  a beautiful baby he is and that's when Joanne started to cry.  Joanne told the minister we had just lost our baby and he  said  sorry and he walked back to his table and sat down. He returned a few minutes later and asked if he could bestow a blessing on Joseph and the table and we received a short but  beautiful  blessing altogether in a moment, in a restaurant. Holly's brother, Samuel, needed information to obtain her  possessions in California, so I walked a few blocks with a purpose behind my stride, from the restaurant to the apartment. As I crossed the corner...
