Very sad news…

If, like me, you’re a fan of Louise Penny ~ there is sad news tonight.

Her beloved husband, Michael passed away.  He suffered from dementia and his long good-bye is gently over.

Here is her eloquent and simple farewell,

Michael passed away last night, at home, at peace, with love. “It’s not so much that his heart stopped, as that he’d finally given it all away.”      Surprised by joy.

I harbor no hubris that Ms. Penny has ever visited Book Barmy, but I hope you, my loyal readers, will join me in sending our collective comfort out into the universe for her.

Thank you, Ms. Penny for sharing your journey with your comrade and partner, Michael.  You wrote of your love with honesty and grace.

May peace slowly come to you, even as your grief ebbs and flows, and may his light be all that remains. 

Surprised by joy…
