Such a sad way for a good spirited man to find himself questioning everything.
Your anguish comes through. I suspect that there is anger subdued here too. If you feel the need to shout, then shout! Yell, cry out WHY?..... Life is beautiful, but life is cruel.
No answers, but i feel for you.

Ahhhhh UNCLE ANDY ~ KF still the Prima Donna ~ always my DADS favorite ! He has 33\'s and a windup gramaphone with a Horn and Thorn Needles ! Being a Newspaper Man he is a bit eccentric and always wears a Bowler Hat on a Sunday etc !
Your POEM is very poignant and we can empathise ~ but only from a distance. Several of my Friends and extended Family have succumbed to ALZHEIMER\'S and have died internally. Yesterday I attended a Reunion and my Friend RUTH brought her HUSBAND BOB (50) a High Ranking Electrical Engineer and a Fitness Fanatic. He shambled in unkempt grinning and laughing and unable to hold a conversation ~ tragic. Ruth who still teaches two days a week confided in me how difficult it is ~ and at times she feels like giving up. You are a great example and we all admire what you do 24/7 for JOYCE ~ AMEN ! Blessings & Love to JOYCE & YOURSELF ~ BRIAN & ANGELA š§”š§”š§”š§”

A heart wrenching read - I am still enjoying KF in the car where it is played constantly (only when I am in it obviously).

I may understand this, though not having experienced it. Any signs of relief? Any glimmers of light? Healing somehow, if gradually? Thinking of you both, and in prayers.

Some pass by,
aware of the building,
some love the frames,
the exquisite gilding.
but different for Goldfinch,
as each year he grows older,
for the beauty is within,
the eye of the beholder.

A long time since I graced the hallowed Ashmolean - a superb collection. Actually I attended Ashmole School in Southgate and did a course of studies at Pembroke College - brings back memories.

I have a great deal of Jacques Loussier, unsurprisingly, and have listen to him for many, many years.
Music is often the key to relaxation, but I was happy in my work life of firtyseven years and one month, so I didnāt get too stressed there. I did get somewhat concerned bavk in 2007 when I was told if you donāt have the operation you will die.

Thanks UNCLE ANDY we both love the Jack Lousier Trio ~ PLAY BACH ~ always very cool & relaxing ! We like the CHINESE PROVERB ! WE are qualified to do our jobs and both very satisfied doing them ~ so (in the main) we are RELAXED @ Work & Play. If promotion comes ~ it comes ~ but being Christians we have lots of inner satisfaction and inner Peace with God & Humanity. Godliness with contentment is great gain.

Thanks for sharing this thought. It makes me think about the few times I feel relaxed and in touch with who I really am.
I always feel anxious around people.
