On the First Anniversary of Our New Relationship
Another letter to my love
Hello again, my darling.
I haven’t written for what feels like a lifetime, although it’s only five months.
In your dimension, I’m sure you don’t measure time, so I hope for you it feels like yesterday. It’s not that we haven’t been communicating since then. You continue to give me signs of your presence and I talk to you often, convinced you can receive my signals.
Today, January 24, is a year since you departed on your spiritual journey. To ensure I wouldn’t fall apart and make you worry, I’ve been preparing for this day.
I celebrated your birthday on October 24 but didn’t bake that special chocolate cake, because I didn’t want to eat it alone and get all sentimental. Oh, how your face would light up when I gave you the empty bowl of butter icing to scrape clean with your favourite dessert spoon.
Christmas Eve was more of a challenge.
Do you remember how I used to set up Della, my laptop, on the coffee table so we could watch the broadcast of the Midnight Mass from the Vatican? I admit a cried quite a lot that night but toward the end, sang along to Oh Come, All ye Faithful.
