I don't know if this is apposite in any way but as soon as I saw your "a long time ago, I had a girlfriend...." these American Pie lyrics started buzzing in my head:
This is so very beautiful, I love the way you interspersed the lyrics with your writing. Beautiful. Thank you so much. “It’s a beautiful song. My boyfriend used to sing it to me.” That undid me. xo
Wow, this hit hard. Powerful and inspiring. I'm eager to read more of your posts. Perhaps you've mentioned this elsewhere, but have you read 'Mortality' by Christopher Hitchens? I've long been a fan of his and I'm not going to say I *enjoyed* it, but I've read it twice and it's...a gripping read, to say the least.
Hi, I just wanted to tell you I found this very moving. And your procrastination essay too. I went to sleep last night thinking about them. I wish you all the best.
Very moving - thank you. Stay strong.
Thank you, James.

A long, long time ago, I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.....
Very moving post by the way
I love that song too, Graham.
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news.
But she just smiled and turned away.
A beautiful post Ragged.
Thank you, Mr LSO.

Thank you, Murphy. It still brings me to tears every time, 32 years later.

I read some of his essays from near the end. I didn't read his book.

Thank you for your kind words. They mean a lot to me.
Beautifully shared memory, RC.
Thank you, Bess. Despite the sad times that it came from, it's a very happy memory for me. I relive it often.
