[Harker]

38. If you'll welcome a bit of a twist...

As my first wife was dying in my arms, she pointed at her computer screen, where she had cued this up for me.

I'd never heard it before, but I listen once or twice a year.

https://m.

[malaise]

41. Oh My

You have me in tears -

[Harker]

47. She knew her time had come that morning.

She asked me to give her a little time to meditate, after which I held her tight for the last sixteen hours of her life.

She never spoke again, and I listened to and felt her as she wound down like a pocket watch.

She died as she lived - at home with me, on her own terms and with understanding and acceptance... with grace, dignity, and tremendous beauty.

I can face my tomorrows like a natural man largely because of the example she set.

[malaise]

48. I hope I'm that brave

Must have been tough!

[Harker]

49. It was...

but it was also so very right. She was really something.

[NBachers]

39. For Your Precious Love by Jerry Butler, and Comin' Back to Me by Jefferson Airplane

And a bonus track, Today, by Jefferson Airplane

[consider_this]

42. YES - Today!!!

I was just thinking I should have posted that and here you are.

One of my absolute favs - so beautiful.

[DFW]

40. One none of you have ever heard and one you have all heard

[NBachers]

44. I checked out Candlelight, and stuck around for Long Lost Salamander. Also, I finally picked up Time

Cellar and read it- I stayed up 'till 4 AM, and then picked it up again the next day. One of the advantages of being confined to home: Plenty of reading time!

So - Is Time Cellar a play on words of the Spencer Davis Group's song Time Seller?

[DFW]

54. No, I had never heard of the Spencer Davis song

It was a compromise title, as it was originally supposed to be called "Wine All Mine."

Long Lost Salamander was something that was supposed to be elaborated on, but got postponed for 38 years (!!)).

The intended version can be heard on a Jango site. Go to "Freedom Toast Songs" and scroll down to "Canyonlands--Salamander 2.0" There is some other fun stuff on there, too (you'll like "School Days" ).

As for The Time Cellar, hope you liked meeting Robert, Juanita, Anne and Miguel!

[malaise]

43. Thanks for your great selections DUers

I know some of them but I learned some new ones.

[Harker]

45. Thanks for asking!

Clearly, it's our individuality that makes us so delightfully well-rounded as a group.

I love it here, and not a day goes by without me being thankful for my fellow DUers.

I don't say "thank you" nearly enough.

[malaise]

46. Thank you too

[gratuitous]

50. The song I sang to her at our wedding

[spicysista]

51. This thread is awesome!❤💙💚💛💜

[malaise]

59. DUers are the best

[SharonAnn]

52. "Eres Tu" and "My Cup Runneth Over With Love"

Eres Tu
Like a promise, are you
Like a summer morning, are you
Like a smile, are you
This, this is you
Etc.
More poetic in the original Spanish

[malaise]

58. I learned the words of Eres Tu back in the day

[Bayard]
