This week, I have had the fun of spending time with two of the three  local grandchildren. (Oldest was at volleyball camp).   I took H.  to yoga with me on Wednesday morning.  He thought it awesome to go to yoga with his grandmother and thinks me cool because I wear lots of bracelets.  A. and and I are working on a birthday project for their Mom’ upcoming special day.

We spent lots of time in the car and I found out pretty quickly that my propinquity for   “talk radio” was vetoed!    We listened to  popular music instead.   I had heard “See You Again” before but this time I really listened. It was written  by Wiz Khalifa  in response to the death of the star  Paul Walker as a  tribute to Walker in the new Furious 7 film.  Charlie Puth was chosen to sing it because he had personal current loss  over the death of a friend. The  emotion and pain are very clear in his  voice.

Loss is a  theme that  is a  personal part of  all our lives  . . death of a  family member or friend, loss of a child, a dream, youth, health and many more.   Loss is a part of life for all people everywhere and this international , multicultural  theme touches us all.

Thanks H. and A.  for touching my heart in such a special way just being with you.  Maybe I will listen to  more music in the car. . . so much for that snooty thought  that the only good music was from the 60s and 70s!

Until I See You Again !
