@leonard and hi everyone. I get emails on posts of subjects interested in and although not part of your conversation I hope you don't mind my comment.
Tears came to my eyes reading about your piano playing and the emotional loss really touched me. Also losing such a dear friend suddenly. I also weight the pros and cons of my ups and downs but I would give all I have, for instance, to spend a day with my family no longer on earth: it's a good thing we do not know what is in the hereafter because if I thought they were waiting fo me to show up I would. I don't know you but IF you ever do find a new home for your piano, perhaps have someone take a photo of you sitting at it, if it's not too upsetting. I love my old photos... I got rid of a lot of odds and ends over the years and sometimes wish I had just taken a picture first, sounds silly, but we are all different in that regard. Am glad you had a great family and terrific friends.... and sorry for your current health issues. J.
