I missed your previous post, then I saw this. I am so sorry.
Thank you for sharing Ted's story.

I will light a candle for you, for Ted, if that's ok.

I have been thinking of you since I read your sad news. Thank you for telling more more about Ted. You're the one I know, of course, but from the bits and pieces gleaned over the years, I've always got the impression that you both shared a love of nature and music. Wonderful things to have in common.
