Love

I was on the road back home from dropping my son off where he lives and listening to one of my favorite albums. I have listened to this album 100’s of times, and today, again, there were tears. These songs about Australians mostly, go deep. Wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, bushies, daughters, lovers and ghosts. They are all there waiting to be heard again. And what they say is this: don’t be afraid to love someone with all your heart and soul. And if you lose them, love them still. Love is what life is all about, loving and living.

The album called "From the Heart" is by Di Hammond. Sal and I got to know her and Rob when they were in Tallahassee for awhile many years ago. Late night dinners and fires and singing and listening. And these songs. On the eve of Valentine's Day what could be more fitting than this album and the songs of love within. Thanks Di and Rob for a never ending well of hope and love. You guys are never far from our thoughts.
