I have included my recent post for those who had not read about .
Last night, I pulled the drapes to one side and gazed out my window to look at the moon, as I remembered how the moon and stars looked on the beach in Cemaes Bay, Wales. The moon rays of light would shimmer on the waves as they rolled gently onto the sand beneath my bare feet. I could still hear the soft sound of the ocean as I thought of Jack when I heard a call coming in on my computer. It was my friend, Mal, calling from Wales.
As my computer cam started to open, the first video frame was a familiar scene I had once viewed. It was the garden behind the house in Cemaes. Immediately I heard the sweet song of the dickey birds singing. My view was clear enough to see the seed on the window sill that was Jack’s favorite. Mal said, “Shhh, be very quiet and listen.” I could hear the doves way in the back in the garden. Their favorite place to sing was from the cherry tree, located in the rear of the garden. Then I heard the sound of feathers in the wind. Oh, to my delight, there on the window sill landed, Jack! I remained quiet, while I watched Jack enjoy his seeds. It was then that I noticed his right wing. Some of his flight feathers were missing.......
The next thing I remember was opening my eyes, alone in my own bed in St. Petersburg. My head sinking into the pillow to find the tears I had shed during the night. Thinking to myself, “Did I just dream about Jack?” Did Jack come to visit the garden and fly onto the window sill? Is Jack safe at home in the garden in Cemaes?
Is he soaring amongst the clouds in Cemaes or has he moved on into the forest where the ducks flock? One begins to wonder what is important in life as we think about Jack. It is only the ones that have known Jack that can answer that question.
It is a mystery then. I look up into the sky and think of Jack. I think of those who have loved Jack, and whose lives have been changed by knowing him. The skies will never be the same.

Spelling??? what the heck is that?? I never did well in spelling. Needless to say, I didn't get picked for the school spelling bee contest.
