The View from Here: moments and memories…

Saturday April 9th

This evening gave us our first real sunset.  Not a majestic, fiery, spectacular sunset, but a sunset nonetheless.  I have photos, but B has the best one which I’ve ‘borrowed’ here. 

He took it from the balcony, standing on his own and drinking in his surroundings.  And then he came to find me and said: “I was standing on the balcony and thinking about how perfect it is here.  And I thought: ‘the only thing that could make it more perfect would be to have you standing here next to me’.”

Cesare Pavese reminds us: “We do not remember days; we remember moments.”

These are the moments I must remember; these are the moments to treasure.  This is a house to be shared and a house in which to make memories.  And this is a memory I shall hold close to my heart.  The view from here is full of love and promise.

And early the next morning, another moment to remember: I watched this sunrise…
