Dear Dick,

Thank you for your heartfelt message about John's death. As you say, life and person-itself is changed by these kinds of events/experiences. J. Dominic Crossan says in his memoir that his wife's death taught him that only half the grieving was for his loss of her. He also needed to grief the loss of the "self" he was with her. You also seemed to intimate that in your thoughts about reforming your life following your wife's death so many years ago.

Beryl says she's hoping I will return to Gather. It certainly has changed in format since I was last here. Probably you will begin seeing little articles from me from time to time. Maybe I'll begin by exploring some of Beryl's and your writing during the past year.

Thank you again. Please know that your thoughts and words mean a great deal to me.

Christin
