Let It Be

Back to the Celebration of Life recap  ...

Our lovely friend Jana somehow sang "Let It Be".  Right now I can't believe she was able to sing it.  And, oh, she did a lovely job, acapella.  Thanks, J!

Here's a link to Paul's version on YouTube:

Our lifelong friend Sunny read a favorite poem from my childhood.

Listen to Mustn'ts by Shel Silverstein

Listen to Mustn'ts, child, listen to the Don'ts.
Listen to the Shouldn'ts, the Impossibles, the Won'ts.
Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me.
      Anything can happen, child, Anything can be.

I think this poem just reflects the mental state you have to put yourself into
if you are going to fight a fight like we had to fight.
You have to ignore the single digit survival statistics,
you sometimes have to go Doctor Shopping.
You have to follow your gut, follow your boy and just believe.
We had to follow our special boy's lead, who truly never had any other
plans than just to be here with us.  He never feared.
