Aw!, our poor lady neighbor died last night.
She was having horrible heart troubles and by now, she was reduced to a little shell propped in a wheelchair, so, I'm relieved to know that now she is free of all earthly bounds and I'm sure her husband (a good man, that one) is also relieved, as living with a mortally sick member of the family is certainly no way to live; it's horrible pressure for everyone.
But they were such a close couple, married for fifty years and now he is going to be all alone and to make it worse, starting on december, of all dates.
I can see people there from this window at my left, I'm sure their daughters are there right now, tomorrow I'll go there or send him a card or bake him something, I don't know, I'm terribly awkward when it comes to console someone who has experienced a loss.
I was sharing a buffet with my husband, some guys (our sons??) and Peter Boyle and he was making me laugh about something related to apple pie and cheddar cheese and suddenly, I heard a song in the radio and oh! oh!, I hadn't heard that song in so long and God knows what was the name of it! and somehow, I made out the (english) lyrics and that's when I woke up.
The weird thing is that I do love that song, I haven't heard it in years and when listening to it (in my teens) I didn't know enough english to figure any lyrics and yet, somehow, they came up to my mind as I was sleeping, now that I speak english.
Thoroughly confusing, but I'm happy, because I simply put the lyrics I figured in Google and it came up with the song: Just Around The Corner, by Cock Robin.
Weee!.
