And, yes. It's kind of a privilege, I think... which seems an odd way of putting it, but after George's death, where there was the profound feeling of being grateful for being present... it's changed a lot of how I see loss and how fiercely I simply want to be present with someone I care about. In some ways, it's the thing I can do when I can't do anything about the inevitability of this and many other losses.
Anyway... thank you, and yes, and I'm glad of your friendship through all these decades.
