Early Migration

As most of you know, my lovely wife (Di) passed away early Tuesday morning this week. Her nickname on several sites was "Songbird". And, indeed, that's exactly what she was. She loved to sit at the window and watch the birds, particularly during their spring and autumn migration. Due to the early warming spring, their migration was a week or so early this year. Her favorite bird was the Hummingbird.

I remodeled one of our bedrooms for her. It has a large double window. We live about a quarter mile from the Tennessee River. The migration was heavy this year. She got to see most of it. One day, a Baltimore Oriole and an Eastern Bluebird sat on her windowsill about an hour apart. They're not very common in this part of the country. That was quite a treat.

I wrote this song for her just hours before she passed, knowing her time was close. Unfortunately, she never got to hear it. Perhaps she has since her passing.
I hope some of you like it. I'm pretty sure she would have.

Bye, Babe. Love ya. This one's for you. Sure do miss your angelic voice. You were the best.

Alan

I can't listen to your music just now as SoundCloud won't let me listen without logging-in to the site. I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks: sometimes it simply lets my play and listen as always previously, sometimes I can't listen to the main post, but I can listen to the same post in the bottom bar, sometimes it throws up a log-in window which I can switch off and then listen, but today there is no bottom bar to click 'play' on and when I remove the log-in window it just comes back up when I try to play the main post.

I didn't know Di had passed on - that her planetary (biological) body has expired - but it's my gnosis that her psyche and spirit continue, Besides having had numerous experiences of passed on dear ones - mother, father, 2 aunts, 2 past on beloved partners and old friends of both genders, some more than once, I virtually nightly get spooked by my resident ghost, though I prefer the term 'discarnate human psyche'. I feel for you as I've obviously been there myself, but what's for certain is that Love never dies. Dwell in that Love, Al.

#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi, Alan.

I'm so sorry to hear about Di.

That's a very melancholic and pretty song you've put together.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Oh, man, I actually burst out crying when I read this, Alan. I sat for a long time thinking about you two before pushing play. When I finally listened I thought of you more. She was a remarkable woman with a very remarkable husband. SO beautiful. SO sorry to hear of your loss, my friend. You always made it clear that her beuatiful soul made you a much better human. What a wonderful tune for her.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Alan. Firstly, my thoughts and prayers are with you on the passing of your dear Di - I have only been on this forum a short while, so haven’t been aware of this journey for you both.

I have read the comments from your forum friends here and there are so many good hearts reaching out to you with love and support. I do hope you feel that and in a small way, this place of forum friends through music is a support and comfort to you.
Warmest thoughts,

Thanks, Chay. We've also buried three of our children. I appreciate the encouragement and very kind words.

Her love will always be with me.

Marty, my friend ...

Indeed, she was remarkable. I always told her: "How can a hot number like you be such a cool lady?" She always smiled and said: "Well, I guess you just have to be special." She was so right. She was beyond special. Several times I told her: "If I could talk to God face-to-face and ask for the perfect wife, He would have given me her." And He did. I was so blessed to have those years with her. She made me the man I'd always hoped to be."

I sure do miss her.

Alan

Andrew,

Yes, the folks on this forum are best of what the world has to offer. Her health had been declining for many years. The people on this board were there for us all along. Their support and encouragement have made such a huge difference. She was the complete definition of a true lady.

Somehow, I'll manage and be okay It will take a while, though. Thanks for your kindness.

Alan

Alan, sorry for your loss, and your prior losses—takes lots of strength, I’m sure. I sometime think I must be a hell of a weakling, since the good Lord has spared me from the types of burdens you’ve faced. You certainly have brightened my world with your creativity, delivered with lots of love. Thanks for sharing yourself on this forum.

Alan - lost for words and felt the only thing I could say was with a little tune!
Thank you for sharing your great love for each other - and for your music,
wishing you strength at this time - I do hope you're ok with my little tribute
and the tune title "Bird Song", I've never met either of you but I've always
felt a connection!
