Today is Dwight’s birthday. He would have been 66. Here’s a band promo video that I uncovered recently. I’d never seen it before, but I was there for the footage. I love that he spent a fair amount of time on stages and I have a good number of photos and videos to remember him by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrHoHjOEJS8

Dwight’s death is the primary, and most significant grief I’ve been working through, but there have been a few other significant losses in my life, as well, that I’ve kept private. I’m having great difficulty with that. It’s hard to not let it get the better of me.

💔 One year ago today was Dwight’s last full day on earth. I’ve been struggling with this for awhile...and in the midst I received this gift; a remastered recording/filming of a performance of “Spirit of the Wind” by Todd Alan and the Quest from 1994. This was the band Dwight was in when I first met him. Todd did this project in memory of Dwight and I’m so thankful to be able to see and hear him one more time. ❤️ Listen/view here: https://youtu.be/-J7ikkhzajc

Contemplating 2020. And 2019 💔. Hoping for happier times ahead. Meanwhile, I hold close that which brings me comfort and reminders: I bought myself this ring for Christmas; Celtic knot work with a red garnet, Dwight’s birthstone. I’m enjoying my morning with coffee, in one of his favorite mugs, with a splash of Bailey’s Irish Cream. #HappierNewYear #IrishLass #dwightwashere #alwaysinmyheart
