TheBanyanTree: Sad story (again)

[Deb Frost]

Hmm ... <sigh> OK, obviously I DID know (then). I just read MY OWN POST
responding to the news (back in 2010). 

I hate it when sad losses come back to hit you upside the head all over
again. It happens way too often these days and has me wondering if there is
more than fibromyalgia going on. An early sign of Alzheimer's maybe? :( Oh
joy. Something else to worry about. Of course it could just be normal,
age-related worsening memory. It has been a long day today.

In any case ... Dee, I STILL miss you. I miss you all over again right now.
Just as I miss Cecil and a few others who have wandered off over the years,
either intentionally or across the great expanse. And yes, I still miss
Youngblood too. 

Such strong cosmic energy they all had. The world is less rich for their
departure from it, but what they contributed to it will always remain a
blessing to those they touched.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

De Frost, AK

I still have the lovely frosted glass "container" entrusted to me so many/so
few years ago when Youngblood passed on ... I put the blue glass
crescent-moon stopper back in it without washing it out back then (it just
didn't seem right to wash it) and gently stored it on a high shelf. Some of
you from Spoon days will understand ...

I added a coffee bean to the container today and sealed it back up. I don't
think YB will mind sharing. Besides, they probably have a lot of catching up
to do.

I join Julie in finding a quiet place. In her way and at just the right
time, Dee touched me deeply. I think of her often and will miss her
immensely.

A few years back, as Linda and I were passing through Bandon, Dee insisted
that we spend the night in her home on the lake. We talked and talked and of
course had coffee. Linda went to bed as Dee and I talked well into the night
. . . discussing many of you.

Dee had a large collection of telephone line insulators varying in color and
style. Before leaving in the morning, she gave me a perfect one. I cherish
it and the lovely lady who gave it value. 

Oh wow . . . . the memories going back to early Spoon days are flooding over
me.

A short story for a very sad occasion. Dee Churchill, long a favorite and
much loved member of our Tree, passed away in her sleep last night.

I don't know what else to say, but I miss her already.
